Notes

Update (November 7, 2022):

After wearing my Lamina pullover a couple of times I had to recognize that I wasn’t entirely happy with it. It was definitely too short for my taste, and the body had a somewhat balloony shape that I didn’t like.

As I had plenty of wool left, I decided to lengthen the body (I didn’t measure how much. Perhaps 4 cm?) and to knit the bottom ribbing with the same needle size. Now the pullover falls straight and has more drape.

I also lengthened the sleeves a bit. I like my Lamina much better now!

                          -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

I never thought that some day I would knit a pullover in colourwork, but when I discovered Lamina I felt the need to knit it, in exactly the same wool and colours. They looked so good on the black model!

As a tight knitter and because I had never done colourwork before I thought that it would be convenient to use slightly larger needles.

After separating the sleeves from the body I tried the pullover on and found that it was turning out clearly larger than intented, but I didn’t want to start over again. I continued knitting and decided to make the pullover shorter than called for, thinking that it would look better that way.

As a result my Lamina is short, almost cropped (not what I normally wear), but I like it. And I so enjoyed knitting with two colours… this has been my first colourwork pullover but will not be the last!

I am so bad at taking pictures from myself… the picture that shows the colours the best is probably the fourth from the bottom.
