Small Amount of Progress but the best.

Yes, the prototype of the Twelve-Point Circular is done. Yahoo, sleeves are finished. Phew.

Why are sleeves such a slog? Anyone?

I have set myself up to knit 6 sleeves. Yikes, that’s bad news. The good news is that the first two are done! I’m celebrating 🍾.

Everything else is stuck in the middle. I have the ribbing to do on my Lunenburg and then 2 more sleeves.

The cotton/Hemp Twelve-Point Circular is on hold for the moment. I want to show you how I added extra width on the Front. Coming up soon.

Because 2 sweaters is not enough, I’ve started a Puzzle-Pillow Blanket by Meg Swansen.

It’s all mitred corners which keeps me interested and is lots of fun. It’s from this book.

I’m using up all my odds and ends, working them doubled up on a 5.0mm. The pattern is a bit obscured, ok, a lot obscured, but I’m using each ball until it runs out. Otherwise, I’ll end up with even more tiny balls. I need to move all these bits of yarn into something I can use.

Since it’s garter stitch, and is getting larger, I am also practicing my Purling Back Backwards so I don’t have to flip it over every row.

That’s me, up to date on my projects which are all stuck in the middle. I hope your knitting is moving along. Cheers, Deb

I'm a Knitter. The capital K means every day, everywhere. I started designing as co-owner of Cabin Fever with my sister Lyn. We have published over 160 patterns and 11 books. I'm also working on a new set of patterns for Any Gauge or Gauge-free knitting so you can dive into your stash and cast on for a Top Down sweater that fits, or an accessory to use up those odd balls of yarn.

  1. Hello Deb,
    Your Lunenburg is very beautiful. I am a terrible copycat as I have ordered the same wool in the same colors and am planning on knitting the exact same sweater. I’ve never knit with this yarn before. Does it ‘blossom’ a lot when blocked? Have you knit to the pattern gauge?
    Thanks
    Tim

    1. I haven’t blocked it yet. I’ll let you know. I did knitba sweater for my daughter out of the same wool and she really likes it. I didn’t get gauge, I rarely do. On a 3.25mm needle I’m getting 5.5 sts per inch instead of 6 sts per inch. I went down one size and I think it will fit OK. I hope you enjoy knitting your sweater. I have.
