You may remember my two previous articles about designing a sweater for my brother Bob using wool from his two Babydoll Sheep, “Wooley” and “Lambchop”.
Part one of the series is found here. Part deux can be found here.
Other knitting projects skipped ahead of this one: baby blankets, a full sized blanket, felted oven mitts as gifts, and class projects.
I am happy to get back to this item. I finished the body of the sweater and joined the shoulders using a three needle bind off.
I started the first sleeve, worked for about 6″ and decided the increases were too fast. I frogged (rip it, rip it) back to the second cable row and slowed the increase rate.
I usually don’t “Hand wash, lay flat to dry” until after the garment is put together, but I just HAD to see how the cables would open up. I like it!
Stay tuned. I started it October 2017. It will be finished by the end of THIS October!
