Garter stitch, garter stitch and more garter stitch…
Got half way and it just was not the right size. Don’t know how I got it so wrong.
Take one started on the 10th Oct 2008: Frogged
Re started on the 3 Jan 2009.

This is going to be slow going…..

Short rows:
I started the short rows 4 ridges into the knitting of the arms at the underarm then did them every 4 to 5 ridges ten stitches further along towards the cuff (6 or 7 times in total I think). There is no shaping in the blue or white stripes. I then did the reverse knitting the rest of the grey.

Once knitting the collar I put in another couple of short rows to give it some height at the back.

I-Cord:
Used the US10 needle

Shoulder shaping:
Didn’t bother with it

False Seams:
Did bother with them. They make the Jacket and are good fun.

Finished!!! I never thought I was going to get through this project. I love EZ patterns and I have to date loved making them. In this case the only thing that makes up for the drudgery of making it is the finished article. It is exactly the right size!

In all it has been 13 months to the day since the yarn was purchased.
