i knew it would be disastrous
I tried on my Tivoli last night. It’s not going to work. It’s tight–not so tight that I’m unhappy with the size–but the armhole is too tight. And that’ll be annoying. The collar is just fine, but I think I’d need a few more increases for the straps and then need to cast on a few more stitches under the arm. It’s not the pattern’s fault–I knew that my gauge wasn’t right.
lake wesauking knitting
Knitting by the lake this weekend was great–and I made amazing progress on the Tivoli T. I did a swatch in the car on the way up, and discovered that my gauge was a little smaller than called for, but I liked the way the yarn was knitting up and so I decided to just go for it (this could prove disatrous). I knit knit knit in every spare moment, and I’m actually about to start the increases at the end of the wais shaping. I should really try it on, but I didn’t have a needle with which to put the work on some scrap yarn.
baby jacket progress
Making good progress on the sweater. The pattern actually calls for a straight front, but that was both too boring and not as cute as I’d been hoping, so I put in some decreases to make a slanted edge.
next project!
On Friday, I cleaned up my knitting basket–the one that sits next to the couch and houses my most current projects and random knitting piffle–and even formed some loose balls into new balls. Then I looked at the stash and thought, “What can I get out of this?”
