I can’t leave Canada without a Hudson’s Bay patterned SOMETHING.

29-11-2016

Yaaaaas wound the first giant skein of bare into a giant squishy ball and transferred my OTHER fingering weight sweater WIP onto my less-favorite needles. So excited to get started!!

OK, current plan is going to be for an 18” torso length (my 16” cardigan is lovely but the tiniest bit too short) using 2” stripes.

This means if I have 1.5” for ribbing at the bottom, I should start knitting the stripes 2.5” after the yoke.

New plan because I got so bored. Switched to green before separating sleeves. It’ll be fine I bet.

Finished the body!!

24-06-2017

Finished the first sleeve, have 2 stripes left on the second sleeve.

It’s a bit too big, but in a comfy way. Plus I didn’t do any shaping, sooooo I wasn’t expecting it to be particularly fitted. If I knit this pattern again I should definitely make a size down though.
