Since I saw you last, I’ve made two sleeves!
I must say, I like this yarn! It knits up sturdy but soft and my swatch had absolutely Zero color transfer while it was drying. Which makes it good for color work. What also makes it good for color work is the delicious colors (please see above)! I’ll absolutely be using Rowan Handknit DK for future projects. I’ve cast on for the back.
But cast on is all I’ve done! The last few days have been spent cleaning cleaning cleaning. Michael’s Dad is coming on Friday to spend the weekend and then his Mom, sister and maybe Mark (step-brother) are coming on Wednesday to spend a few days. So I have to get things neat! There is a lot more to get neat than when we lived in the apartment: a lot more molding, baseboards, chair rails and fancy stuff on the doors to dust than there used to be. I don’t know how folks kept their houses straight back in the day before vacuum cleaners…
i LOVE the colors – great choices!!!
Isn’t great the way Handknit DK softens up after the first wash? I love this yarn and all its color possiblities. Love your choice!
I’m knitting the cotton jacket from Vintage Knits — I love your’s! Is there a secret to attaching the pockets (when you knit across on the front)? Mine don’t look very pretty at the edges… but I don’t know how else to do it.
The colors for your sweater look so much prettier knit up than on the ball!
Good luck with the house cleaning.
I love your color choices, the sweater looks beautiful. I am impressed with your ability to stick it out and knit so many sweaters from Vintage Knits. I love so many patterns and now I feel inspired to go out and make some of them instead of drooling over them. Thanks!
