As we travel this road to a sweater – that we all have vowed to finish- before the holidays – we have reached week 5.
From the sound of it, the shoulders and shaping threw many of us into Slow Motion.
I managed to get through the color work on the shoulders of my sweater. And I managed to learn the language of the author of the pattern.
And while I picked a pattern that is called “top down” from a book that says “top down” in the title, my sweater is sort of the anti- top down. Yes, I am knitting from the top to the waist. But EVERYTHING about my sweater is just “knitting” a regular sweater from the shoulders to the armpits.
Once I hit the arm pits I did join the whole thing up, and started going back and forth.
And it was then, after so many color work hours, that I made an executive decision. I added three stitches to the front, and I am going to do the sweater in the round, and steek it. (cut the front open and add the binding.)
Kathy is cruising along!!
She is down by the waist band. The beautiful cable work is coming out in this picture.
How is your sweater?
