Did you start?

What's going on with the new sweater? Did you make a swatch? I need to get some yarn too.

Shawl-Collared Jacket-NEXT!

I bought the recommended Homepun yarn today on sale at Joanne's for only $20. If I like the pattern I might make it again with better yarn.

I'm confused by the first line of the pattern. Slip stitch the first stitch then knit the rest? Is that right?

And just straight needles for this one?

DONE!


Finished, just in time for it to be too hot outside to wear it! Oh well. I think it came out good. I'm weaving in the ends now.

I'm going to start on the "shawl" cardigan style next.

I'm working on the arms now.

Arms done


Finished the arms, bottom still too short. I like it though!

One Arm Down


Hey, with my new iMac I can take pictures directly from the computer! This will make blogging much easier!

I think I need to make the sweater longer at the bottom. I got impatient and bound off too soon. I'll do that after finishing the other arm.

How about a picture of the green one???

Yoke


Here is my almost-finished yoke. I've gotten past this point now, but haven't taken pictures!

I suggest that a row or two before dividing for the sleeves and body, you switch to one circular needle, if you haven't already. I did it using 2 needles and it was a pain. You will need the 2 needles again later to do the sleeves.
