I have always avoided anything that generated doubt. In knitting that thing, for me, was making sweaters. I know you are saying &#8220;but GG you made that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.woolandthegang.com\/en\/products\/vivienne-cardigan\">Wool in the Gang Sweater<\/a> in the Philippines&#8221;. Yup I sure did. <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ggmadeit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/img_25741.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Can we talk about comparison and how it kills confidence? Well, in my mind because I had only made bulky sweaters, versus all the fingering weight sweaters on Instagram, I was a fraud.<\/p>\n<p>If you let me tell it I wasn&#8217;t a real knitter, and I definitely wasn&#8217;t a sweater knitter.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018 I said damn this, I can at least try. I cast on with fear staring me in the eye. My confidence improved with each stitch and the sweaters unfolded right before my unsure eyes.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ggmadeit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Facetune_17-07-2018-22-33-08.jpg?resize=481%2C640\" width=\"481\" height=\"640\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Before I could even protest, I was making swatches and checking gauge.
