On Tuesday last week my knitting looked like this:
I cast on this top-down jumper/pullover on Sunday and was raring to go at Stitch ‘n’ Bitch on Monday. But my purl m1 stitches were loose and the increases looked very ugly. So I focussed on being sociable and ripped it all back, knowing I’d get on better at home.
I got to spend the greater part of Saturday afternoon knitting and then on Sunday I briefly wondered whether, if I knitted really fast, I could wear this in Brussels, mid-March! Now the idea won’t let go of me and I waver between wanting to give it a good go and knowing it won’t happen in a million years… So I’ve been knitting like one possessed.
My KAL socks (Socks with Sarah) have been demoted to the bare minimum: a-round-a-day. And now there’s just a ‘bit’ of the body still to do before I move onto the sleeves. These will be slower; what with the stripes and shaping. After that I’ll just have to finish off the neck and deal with all the ends. Oh, and block it, of course!
Perhaps I’m in with a chance! What do you think?
The pattern is Isabelle Kraemer’s ravello and the yarn is Zitron Patina
