Perfect Pattern for Men - classic, fun to knit. being able to count helps -as always… Big yarn makes a quick knit.

my first “design” - hope EZ will guide me through it.

February 14, 2011: finished the preliminaries (swatching etc), cast-on body for first try: 140 st in 1k1p twisted ribbing.

February 15, 2011: ripped the first ribbed edge of body after personal try-on. Will start again with less stitches…

February 27, 2011: 2nd try - cast on 114 st with no 5 needles. 1k1p ribbing, with the “side seams” (at 55-58) as pkkp and a right/left twist every 3rd round….

March 17, 2011:connected sleeves to body. can’t deal with shoulder width - where to measure? It can’t be the same as the body, can it? I assume it’s less, sigh…

April 3, 2011: Finished! and fits - even though there were several rips-and-retries. I like it! He does, too…
