Another Hail Mary Cardigan post

1 Upvotes

Hello! I'm interested in the cardigan that you see Grace wear during Project Hail Mary. I don’t knit myself so I’m looking for someone with the skill to create one.

I would like to use the Mary Maxim design on their website (https://www.marymaxim.com/products/wolf-cardigan-project-hail-mary). I currently use LL Bean Cardigans and really enjoy those, but don't have anything boutique like this.

Not sure on a budget or timeline. I know the kit itself is $90 + someone's labor. I have no idea how many hours go into something like this.

If you're interested, please shoot me a ballpark total.

Location: United States, Nebraska
Budget: Open + $90 for kit
Flexible timeline
Size: 2XL

Edit: Based on feedback looks like I’ll be saving up for a bit to push my budget to get something that will last and move to a higher quality yarn.

Root Game Sweater

8 Upvotes

https://imgur.com/a/GRzI5fs

This sweater has board game meeples from a game called r/rootgame.

Location: Needham, MA USA

Size: Adult small to extra small. LLBean small sweaters tend to run too big on me, but Patagonia smalls work well. I can take exact size measurements.

Timeline: No timeline

Budget: I expect this to cost >$300 plus shipping plus materials, but I don't know what a realistic budget is.

Yarn Preference: Alpaca and merino yarn. I don't really wash my sweaters but imagine machine wash cold air dry type.

The person who designed the sweater sent me a design from an Icelandic webpage, but can work with someone to design something from scratch if that is easier. His email is below but I don't understand the knitting technicalities.

Hey Joseph,
As requested, please see attached two pdfs that describe how to make the Root sweater, plus a few extra instructions below. The designs were made using an Icelandic design tool at www.knittingpatterns.is. Their website is a little outdated but can still be made to work with a little effort, which means it can be possible to tailor the size of a sweater to a specific person if you so wish. Please send me a picture if you make one yourself? It would be great to see another one out in the wild. :)
All the best
Morgan (Geomorgski on Discord and the Root app)
The Icelandic lopapeysur is a sweater that is knitted in the round, with the body and arms forming three tubes that are knitted from the bottom upwards. They are then joined together, and then the yoke is knitted up to the neck, and this last part is usually where the design comes in. A well-known Root artist called Tin (the Foil) on discord pixelated the meeples for me, and then I adapted them so that one pixel became one stitch. I wanted all ten of the Root factions on the sweater, which meant I had to make two pdfs to accommodate all of the necessary stitches. The two attached pdfs are the same sweater, just with a different 78 stitch design to cover all ten root meeples. The idea is that one 78-stitch design is followed by the other one, then they both repeat on the back side so that it is 312 stitches all the way round, and all ten factions appear both on the front and on the back. It is designed to be L size, if you need M or XL then decrease/increase the number of stitches in between the meeples.

Please let me know what kinds of questions you have.

thanks!

Project Hail Mary Fox Cardigan Commission

0 Upvotes

I saw a post already like this one so here’s me asking myself

Hello! I’ve been really eager to own the fox cardigan that you see Grace wear during Project Hail Mary and I’d love to own one. I don’t knit myself so I’m looking for someone with the skill to create one.

I’m looking for a very movie accurate one so that means using the Mary Maxim design on their website. I need it to be the high quality and organic wool.

I don’t have a set budget because I know something like this can take hours to make. I’m in no hurry for this to be done. I can only pay in October time seeing as I’ll have the money then.

I’m located in the UK but happy to commission someone internationally and will happily cover shipping costs if needed.

If this is the kind of project you'd be interested in, I'd love to hear from you. Feel free to get in touch with your pricing, availability, examples of your work, and anything you'd need from me to get started.

[Request] Alain Delon's loose-knit sweater from "La Piscine."

2 Upvotes

Hi all, recently have become very obsessed with this sweater worn in my favourite movie.

Genuinely scoured the internet for it and there doesn't seem to be anything quite right so hoping someone here can help out......

Thankfully another individual was after the same sweater so I've just cannibalised their resources for the sake of simplicity.

Here is a slightly cringe blog page on it: https://bamfstyle.com/2023/11/08/la-piscine-delon-sweater/

Here is the album of screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/4T93lT2

Also, here's a decent close-up of the pattern I found on google images: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/3f/21/ab/3f21ab6a02042378b9e902cac52094a7.jpg

Original thread
https://www.reddit.com/r/crochetrequests/comments/rbg579/request_alain_delons_looseknit_sweater_from_la/

Another original thread (same person, but crochet)
https://www.reddit.com/r/KnitRequest/comments/rbbfzx/request_alain_delons_looseknit_sweater_from_la/

It's a chunkier, loose-knit white/ivory sweater with olive green (you may have a better idea of the specific colour) trim around the neckline, cuffs, and hem.

Where myself and the OP differ.
- I'm taller probably a traditional XL size, broad but lean with long arms and a comparatively short torso for my 6'5 height

- Location: Melbourne, VIC, AUS so someone in AUS is preferred to make this

- Fabric choice prefer natural, something hardwearing as hopefully this will become a staple, no wool (moths/washing), I was leaning towards a linen-cotton blend (tbc at any rate)

- Timeline, unsure currently while I dont think its complex at face value the OP seemed to get conflicting responses soooo tbc too I guess

- Budget: $1 AUD, Don't have a budget yet as the OP seemed to spark a lot of debate about what stitch etc so we will discuss when relevant but as a guide ($1+)

At any rate, let me know and lets have a chat about it

Light grey cable knit crewneck fisherman sweater (Estimate Quote or Where to buy?)

Here is a sweater from a movie that I would really like. I have tried looking everywhere for exact or something similar but have had no luck. So I thought I would try here to get it custom made (or where to buy).

I’m not trying to get an exact 1:1 replica just key details so most could be open for interpretation. More specifically I want the loose neck and the 3 main cables? Just looking for an estimate but most definitely open to buying.

Feel free to comment or DM for questions I’ll usually respond fairly quickly.

Budget: Open

My apologies for the lack of pictures and quality as the only online version of this movie is in 360p. I can scrounge up more pictures if needed.

Screen-accurate Project Hail Mary fox cardigan

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I am completely obsessed with the movie version of Project Hail Mary, and I’m on a mission to find a super talented knitter to help me bring Ryland Grace’s chunky fox cardigan to life. Since I work in a school, I would absolutely love to rock this ultimate science-vibe look down the hallways at work!

Because I don't know how to knit myself, I’m looking to commission a true heirloom-quality piece that gets as close to the movie version as humanly possible. That means using the tweaked Mary Maxim chart with the friendlier-looking fox faces, the clean paw prints, and a heavy-duty zipper. Quality is super important to me, so I’m looking to have this made with high-quality, 100% organic wool so it has that perfect, heavy, authentic chunky weight.

I totally respect the incredible amount of time, love, and expertise that goes into a massive colorwork project like this. I don't have a rigid budget set at all because I’m fully committed to paying a fair, premium rate that completely covers your craftsmanship and top-tier materials. I'm also totally flexible on the timeline, as I'm happy to wait to get it done right.

I'm located in Austria but am more than happy to cover international shipping if you're located somewhere else. If this sounds like a project you'd love to take on, please reach out! I’d love to chat about your rates, availability, and what info you need from me to get started.
Thanks so much!

Paige Deadlock Cosplay Sweater Request

Location: Salt Lake City, Utah
Budget: (tell me what you need)
Timeline: Before September 2026
Size: 5'7" Adult. I typically wear "medium" t-shirts.
Material: Some wool of like a medium size i think. this is flexible.

Hi, I'm trying to cosplay Paige Deadlock and I need help to get a solid sweater with a nice fit to match. (shopping for turtleneck sweaters in a darkened shade of chartreuse online is AWFUL 😭)

Important details that I can't find in online listings are: fitted on the torso, loose sleeves, chunky turtleneck, chunky cuffs, chartreuse but a bit darker color (or something I can dye to it).

Image references for the Paige's sweater.

Here is a pattern I found that has good aspects to refer to. The cuffs look good, but the loose fit doesn't. The turtleneck is also a bit short.

If anyone can make this for me, that would be really cool.

I'm not a knitter. I'm here to learn and come up with a fair deal for both of us. If I made a mistake in my request, please don't just say I'm wrong. Please tell me how to correct my mistakes. Thanks!

Knitter for a Pre-Purchased Kit

EDIT: COMMISSION FILLED, thank you everyone for your time, interest, advice, and help! ❤️

Location: MD (USA) | Budget: Flexible, I know this will be an investment! | Timeline: Ideally End of Sept

Hello all!
I have long been wanting a sweater from Linka Neumann's collection, but I am no knitter and not willing to ruin this as my first project to learn! I promised myself that if I got a job working in Antarctica I would celebrate by commissioning a sweater, and well! It's time!

I'm interested in buying this sweater: https://linkaneumann.com/en/shop/takotna-polar-wheat-heather/
In the kit comes the yarn and the pattern; it has everything but the knitter (nor the required tools)! I would buy the kit, have it shipped to you, and then of course pay you for the labor of making it, and of course the shipping back to me!

I leave around the end of September, so I would love to get it by then to bring it down with me, but I also understand that sweaters are no easy undertaking. If this isn't realistic, so be it.

Thanks for your interest and any and all help!

EDIT: Reddit filters have been removing this post, I think due to my account being brand new. Sorry the repost, hopefully this works this time!

[Request] Wool/Silk/Cashmere Knit Repair (Small Holes – Fine Knit Eskandar)

Labor Budget: Up to $100 depending on complexity and quality of repair (open to quotes)

Material Budget: Flexible (happy to pay for specialty yarn)

Timeline: Flexible

Description: Lightweight (~250gsm) long-sleeve Eskandar fine knit shirt in a 60 wool / 30 silk / 10 cashmere blend, heathered black.

  • Size: Adult 1, P2P 23.5", length 23"
  • Damage: Two ~3mm holes: one near the label, one on the front lower left area. Appears to be a very minor loose thread in collar at right side.
  • Yarn preference: Prefer "matching" wool/silk blend or best recommended non-synthetic yarn. Interior serged seams are not stitched down, don't think harvesting is viable.
  • Condition: Otherwise excellent (no pilling or general wear).
  • Goal: I’m looking for someone experienced who can assess the damage and use whatever repair method is best (Swiss darning?) to restore the knit as cleanly and durably as possible for regular wear (durability over absolute invisibility).

Looking for someone to knit a jumper!

hi all,

I absolutely love this top from aeie studios, the Nong Top. I've been looking kinda everywhere for it, and its nowhere to be found. I've emailed them and they responded very quickly and kindly to tell me that its sold out and will never be restocked :(

I was wondering if anyone could knit me something similar? Please let me know if its in your abilities!

I am a size 18-20, and I'd like the jumper to have the same oversized fit as it does on the woman in the video. I would like the material to be as close to the original as possible! Honestly, I would pay any price for this. I really love it so much, its my absolute dream to have a jumper that fits and looks like this.

Please leave a comment/DM me regarding what materials you think this would best be used with, how much you think that would cost and how labour intensive it would be. I apologise for coming across a bit like a neophyte, I'm quite new to knitting.

Location: Surrey, England

Budget: £250-£400

I'd like this completed by September/October, so a timeline of around 4-5 months. I'm really flexible though, so if you need more time its no problem at all.
