Getting out of a rut
Nov 13th, 2008 by knittingclub in knitting
What with the season changing and the weather getting cold this weekend, I have been in a bit of a rut with my knitting, but I have pulled some yarn out of my stash (ah, the joys of a well stocked stash — you must assume the right with the bad you know) and get started whipping up something this week.
I have been thinking around the stitch pattern on this sweater (The Gibson Girl Pullover by Shirley Paden: Knitting Daily link, Ravelry link) since it was promulgated in the summer 2004 Interweave Knits issue:
I showed my baby and said I wanted one, and she said “of flow you need one.#8221;
But, as often as I need it, I don’t mean I want exactly that one, partly because it is cold outside, so I am working with it:
Here is the seat of my tunic length, very close fitting, sweater in Mission Falls 1824 wool. I intend it will have three-quarter length sleeves, because that’s what I like.
It’s liberating to knit whatever I like.
I kept having to up the needle size to get the lace pattern to go properly, so now the jumper is knit up in a whiz.
