Notes

03-20-2022

The errata link on project page has changed. Correct errata link is https://www.interweave.com/article/knitting/interweave-kn...

The errata is “Short-Row Striped Pullover (page 74)
There are two errors in Short-Row Sequence 2.
Short-Row 13 should read: Repeat Short-Row 12.
After Short-Row 26 do not omit the last 2 rows of the stripe sequence.”

I’m going to start with the sleeves, as other knitters have recommended to verify my gauge.

03-26-2022

Finished sleeve 1. I think it looks a little too long, although it matches the schematic and is on gauge. The sleeve took more than half a skein, so I’m going to start the back and then when I have the second skein opened, I will do the second sleeve. I don’t want to risk changing skeins in the middle of the sleeve and having small dye lot variation right in the middle of the sleeve.

This is going to be end-weaving hell. My picture is not even halfway through the back.

04-08-2022

Finished the back!

05-08-2022

Finished the second sleeve. They are REALLY long.

05-14-2022

I’m about halfway up the front, and I can tell I’m going to be playing “yarn chicken” with the last of my main color.

05-15-2022

Finished the front. Need to weave in all the ends on the front, block, assemble, and knit neckline. I’m almost out of the main color.

06-19-2022

It has taken me weeks, but finally finished weaving in the ends on the front. Now I need to start weaving the back ends. UGH.

06-21-2022

408 ends to weave in for the front and back!!!!

07-19-2022

Finished weaving ends! I will NEVER do this project again, simply because of the amount of end weaving. Now to block and then assemble.

07-26-2022

After finishing the neckline, I had about 8 inches left of the main color. I will have to finish the assembly using one of the contrast colors.

01-24-2024

Finally finished this. It’s been in my UFO pile for 2 years. Tried it on today and it’s waaay too big.
