As you will see soon, this blog hasn't only become a slightly boring knitting blog, no, it is about to be turned into a Seamless Yoke Sweater blog.
The attempt to conquer this Elizabeth Zimmerman pattern ("pithy instructions") started out rather unsuccessful two months ago, but with this second try I think I understood a little more of how it works.
We have a new sweater in the house - which my girl likes very much - which is good to play with (this winter and about the next two or three following) - and which was really fun to knit.
The shape is traditional, ribbing at the hem and sleeves. The stitch pattern for the yoke was taken from Knitting Without Tears, the yarn came from my stash, quite old and nothing special.
It fits loosely and initially I thought it was way too big, and hurried to start knitting for another one, but actually it seems just fine.
More of that kind to come next week!
Have a beautiful weekend!
Sorry for the inconvenience with the comments... I don't know what is wrong. Sometimes it seems to be working, and then again it doesn't. I am trying to find out what is happening.
All well again!
