Contiguous Drop Shoulder

I’ve published the Contiguous Drop Shoulder pattern on ravelry. It’s an Any Gauge recipe style pattern. Oh, and it’s free. I have done a couple of videos for it too. Have a great time with this pattern. My daughter loves hers.

This one is in chunky weight yarn and was very fast to knit up.

The one for me is taking a little longer. I had a different idea for the sleeves and after knitting them decided it didn’t work. Rip, rip, rip and start again. Now they are mostly done the second time around.

I knit the sleeves with all the orange yarn I have left. I still have a tiny bit of blue and grey, about 2 or 3 rounds of each and then the sleeves are done. Three quarter length sleeves it is.

I used all the one dye lot skeins of worsted weight wool I had. Yay.

I worked the bottom grey colour in a floating seed stitch pattern since that ball of wool was ripped back from another project. I didn’t want to recondition the yarn so the stitch pattern is a distraction from the crinkly yarn. I think it’s doing it’s job.

I don’t know that this stash buster is fashion forward but it is very comfy. Just a perfect winter knit.

Cheers, Deb

  2. I’m so pleased to be finished that sweater. I finally cast off the sleeves this morning. I know you’re also plugging away on your projects.
