Topic: nordic knitting
It is always a shame a circularly knit stranded sweater cannot look as good as it will be while it is still on the needles. But, I am nearing the end and wanted to share. I have taken my time knitting this (although I do have a deadline which looms over me) in order to protect my hands/wrists/arms/back. So I do only a few inches a day. I am on round 42 of the 63 round yoke, and with all the decreasing, I may finish it tonight.
I snuck in some short rows between chart changes, and all told there will be almost a 2" higher back when I hit the top. This pleases me enormously, as the fit will be that much better.
I am thinking a stand up collar would be a snappy finish, to match the hem style at the cuffs/bottom edge.
Stay tuned.
While I am working on this sweater, the next one is dancing in my head.
So many good sweater ideas, so little time....
