Hospital can be good on your progress of knitting. Did quite some rows while waiting between analysis. The last rows take for ever - so many stitches by 1 row. Oh boy!
23.12.2014:
Finished and it is up for blocking now.
The only modification I did were:
- Stripes on sleeves on lower part of body (see pics)
- Instead of garter stitches to finish the body and the edges, I did I-Cord BO all around. 1 row of garter stitch on the body before I-Cord BO.
- Made the sleeves longer to touch the middle hand.
Pictures will follow after blocking.
I was asked at what moment I started the stripe sequences and on how many rows. I usually do not make many notes or keep them after the object is finished. So here I re-counted rows looking on the FOB.
- CO in glacier, knit 6 rows in glacier
- knit 60 rows in honeydew after sleeve separation.
- started sleeve stripe sequence in glacier for 6 rows
- then 6 rows honedew, 2 rows whisper, 2 rows glacier, 6 rows whisper, 6 rows honeydew, 2 rows glacier, 2 rows whisper, 6 rows glacier, 6 rows honeydew, 2 rows glacier, 2 rows honezdew, then alternating 2 rows glacier and 2 rows whisper 6 times, finish with 8 rows glacier, BO. The length of the sleeve was not calculated. I just knitted until the length covered my palm half way. You can ad in stripe sequence (2 rows glacier/2 rows whisper) until you reach the desired length.
- for the body start stripe sequence after 142 rows from CO edge counted at the back. Knit 2 rows in whisper and 34 rows in glacier. Finish with 1 row in garter stitch in glacier. I-cord BO is knitted in glacier around all the edges except sleeves. Voilà.
