Off to a good start. This yarn feels nice, has a good stretch. And I love the color variation.

I thought I would do some knitting over the Christmas holiday while I was at my parents’ house in R.I. But that did not happen. And now I am sick and really not feeling like knitting.

Time to get back on track!

I have completed the back, and have started on a sleeve. It’s so cold here right now, having this sweater to wear would be nice! But I think at the rate I am going, it will make its debut in the Fall.

After a long hiatus, I am back knitting again. This project is first on the list because I would like to wear it now that the cool weather is coming.

Too bad I did not get to this for the long, cold, snowy winter we had in D.C. this year. All of the pieces are complete. Now to piece, wash, and block.

Last night I added the collar to discover that is was too thick and chunky. So I decreased the CO 15 stitches (from 20).

Wow, look at that date! Cool.

I discovered this video from a Ravelry member, sorry can’t remember who now, about setting in sleeves. This has been the block w/finishing this sweater because I am not comfortable seaming and have been making it up as I go. The video showed me that I was not completely off and now I feel much more confident. The pieces are all rolling up, too, so I am fighting with pinning this together so I am now taking the step to block the pieces to flatted them out.

When seaming stockinette to garter (collar to body of sweater), I did my best to cobble together a mattress stitch, with the right sides up. That way the seam is on the inside.

Lots of seaming for this project. Not fun. I thought this was going to be a simple sweater. Not so much.

Pulled this out from hibernation, going to frog to use the yarn for something else.
