I loooooove Veera’s desings and this one has been on my to do- list ever since the pattern was published. I have 3 skeins of wollmeise, all from different updates so I’ll need to alternate them.
I did some mods:
- sleeves are knitted in size XXL (by accident, actually)
- Raglan decreases were made according the XL size until I had the stitch amount the pattern called for and then I did 4 more decreases only for the sleeves since I had extra stitches in the sleeves.
- One extra short row.
- 5 rows of rib at the neckline.
Aug 19th: I’m so in love with this one. The color is amazing. Can’t wait to get this done!
Sep 8th: Body is at the point that I can leave it waiting and start the sleeves.
Oct 8th: First sleeve is done! Yay. Still in love with this, I loooove the pattern and the yarn.
Oct 10th: CO for second sleeve at class.
Oct 11th: Super fast, I just finished the second sleeve. Much thanks to Star Trek TNG that we watch tonight at Terris. Next, the yoke!
Oct 16th: Pleats done.
Oct 18th: The yoke won’t end! Ever! I’ve knitted and knitted and knitted and have only 18/32 raglan decreases done.
Oct 20th: Almost done and I’ll need almost all of my yarn. I’ll do the ribbing also on the neckline as others have done, otherwise the neck will be too wide. But oh my, this is going to be so awesome sweater.
