Enjoyed reading this.

Liked how you were able to break-down every part of the project and explain the thoughts behind the decisions you made.

I think, the second to the sixth headings could make great independent technical reads. Especially if you confine them to the scope of building this project.

Now, regarding Riddari sweaters (a topic I know nothing about), what are the rules on colors?
If, and only if, the sweaters can't be composed of a single color throughout, that would be a nice little feature to add.
Or, you might just decide to be opinionated and force us to choose a guided color combination so you can rescue us from composing ugly sweaters.
But then again, ugly sweaters might be what people want.

You could add a guided feature so to speak. I would love to see the algorithm behind that.
But, I'm not so sure such a feature would be possible without JavaScript.

Congrats on building this interesting project. It's not easy to tell what a great deal of steps and acumen it takes to build such a "simple" site, especially when viewed from the published side.

Thank you! Maybe one day, when I have enough time, I'll write a series of blog posts about this project πŸ˜„

And for the colors of Riddari; to my knowledge, there are no specific rules. In theory, you could use just two different colors to make some version of the pattern in the yoke visible, but I'd use at least four colors so that the patterns in the sweater would look good. Some knit the sweaters with even more colors.

And when it comes to ugly sweaters - I believe that everyone sees beautiful and ugly in different ways, and there is no definition for ugly color combinations. One combination might seem ugly for me, and beautiful for you and vice versa. There might be some theoretical color combinations that are less ugly - but then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So that's why it would be really hard to build a feature that would guide users to avoid so called ugly sweaters πŸ€” Thanks for the idea though!
