I cast on a jumper for Leon. Shouldn't be weather appropriate, since we are going into summer, but I felt like knitting something both big and simple and Knockamore, by Carol Feller, seemed fit the bill. And the weather is really cold and rainy and horrible. I'm using some beautiful natural wool coloured Bennet and Gregor yarn, which I bought at this year's Bendigo, and which comes in huge single skeins, weighing 500grams each.
I cast on the
first sleeve (at the pub, but with my first drink, so that wasn't the
problem ) I really struggled to get the pattern established, but
eventually, after a lot of counting, I got it established.
Then I knit the first
sleeve, without any major drama, until I cast on the second sleeve and
realised I had, once again, misread the instructions. Basically there is
meant to be a lattice pattern at the cuff, for
which I have accidentally substituted the slant pattern. All of which is
fine, I'll just have to replicate it on the left sleeve. I also have to
decide whether I want to substitute the lattice on the bottom of the body for plain
ribbing or include it as the pattern is
written. While the error was clearly in my reading of the pattern, it
would have been helpful if the pattern book had included some photos of
the bottom of the sleeves and the jumper. Anyway, onwards with the
second sleeve.
