Notes

Starting a winter sweater. Top is knit from each cuff to the center, center is grafted together, and then bottom is picked up and knit down. Should be seamless.

10-11-2016

Was not excited about the reverse stockinette so I changed to a ribb and scaled it back from an oversized sweater to the normal amount of ease.

10-18-2016

Still not happy with this design. The neckline is giving me problems so I’m going to change to top down raglan and do the collar last.

11-08-2016

I am much happier with the neck down raglan. It is coming along nicely.

11-12-2016

I was worried that the yoke was not going to fit but it fits great - so onward with the body.

11-23-2016

Finished the body. Fits nicely.

1st sleeve done and almost done with the 2nd.

12-23-2016

Just have to weave in the ends and wash. Also dying a shirt to wear under it and making some earrings and maybe a ring to go with the outfit.

01-06-2017

This is my latest outfit. I made earrings and a ring to go with it. The shirt is from a resale shop and it a men’s shirt that is a bit too large.

There are some issues but overall I am happy with it. I used Sweater Wizard for this one and I am not that happy with their sizing so next time I am back to Top-Down Sweater Book by Ann Budd.
