Details:
2/16 – Finally! Nearly three years after finishing this combo skin specifically for this sweater, I cast on yesterday. I’ve been apprehensive about it for multiple reasons, but in the end, I just need to start it and see how it goes. Working with handspun is always a tentative adventure for me with garments. I should swatch, but instead I’m just going for it, as it’s a top down sweater and I think it can make adjustments as needed as I go. :crossed_fingers:
I knit the neck band yesterday. I did not do the tubular cast on. And I’m making the band only about an inch instead of two inches since one of my concerns about this pattern is the neck being too close and high up.
2/25 – I’m through the third of four yoke increases and things are going fine. I tried it on yesterday and I love how it’s fitting so far!
