I’ve been knitting along mostly on the Sheffield Cardigan. Miles of stockinette and many more to go. But if it turns out the way I hope, I’m already planning one for me (this one is not for me).
It went from this last picture I showed you.
This is the sweater knit from sleeve cuff to sleeve cuff sideways. So that is the left sleeve and start of knitting from and back of sweater where sleecve meets body of sweater.
This yarn is so soft it will feel great on and give a very nice drape to the sweater.
Here is where I am as of now.
Not a great photo – it looks a it blob like – but it’s raining yet again outside at the moment. I’ve got it sort of folded in half at shoulder as if it were on, and that is the left sleeve along with left front and the back is finished across to where the right shoulder would start after neck shaping.
The back stitches are on a piece of yarn being held at the moment so it’s not laid out real flat. So with those stitches held, I’ve now gone back to the left front section and am in the process of adding a 3″ border section to the front in garter stitch. The front border is worked in separate sections and will have a little seam in the back. I was a bit dubious when starting the border section but now I see how it all works. Interesting construction and since I’ve made a bunch of Amy Herzog patterns, I know to just trust the instructions and it will all make sense in the end even if reading ahead it did not. This really is a beginner friendly pattern – knit, purl, knit two together, SSK – all easy stitches.
