I enjoyed the process of this top down construction;
I knit the back, picked up the shoulder stitches and knit down one side of the front
and then the same for the other.
Once they reach the armholes, they are joined in the round to knit down to the waist.
I am enjoying this very much.
If you haven't worked with the Shine line of yarn from KnitPicks,
you need to find something to make with it!!
It has a wonderful sheen and great hand for knitting--it is cotton and tencel; a great combination.
The back is done a bit differently than the pattern-I didn't want an X on my back
but this gives a bit of interest.
This could be boring but the fronts have a bit of patterning up the edges
so it gives just enough to keep me busy and orderly.
The pattern is intuitive so no need to keep track of a chart as I knit around-perfect!
Very pretty and a great color!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want an "X" on my back either. I like your solution.
ReplyDeleteWow!!! So much progress. It's looking great!
ReplyDeleteYou've done so well so far. Great color.
ReplyDeleteThat top down construction is how the Andi Satterland patterns (my cropped cardigans) I've knit are worked. I like it.
ReplyDeleteI like you mod to the back - I prefer a V to and X
I like top down construction as well. You are seriously getting some sweater knitting in! Adult sweaters at that. I have finally managed to start working on a baby sweater and it barely feels manageable. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat is going to be so pretty! Can't wait to see the finish.
