WIP Wednesday: Sweater Progress

The sweater WIP is still going, and I’m enjoying it more than my first sweater experience. I love my Harvest cardigan, but so much stockinette is just not my favorite knitting. So this new one, the Textured Pullover, is a 10-row repeat that keeps me going with color changes and alternating stockinette rows with k1, p1 rows. I zipped right through the yoke, discovered my stitch counts were wrong because I’d put my BOR marker in the wrong place, frogged about 10 rows, knit them again, and was finally able to put the sleeve stitches on waste yarn.

Look at this pretty raglan sleeve detail!

I’m not convinced it’s coming out big enough to fit me, but if not, I’ve got a girl who might wear it.

Now I’ve just got about a foot of the body to knit, and it makes for perfect knitting while I watch the Olympics!

  1. Oh wow, this looks really cool! I might have to add this sweater to my queue… stripes normally aren’t my thing (too many ends to sew in) but this one looks really cool.
