A few years ago I knitted a thick
jumper for my mother. She wanted
something very thick to wear on cold winter days. I had some Colinette Skye in my stash which I
used to knit her a jumper. This year I
decided to knit her another one as a present.
I haven’t got a pattern – I had
to look at the original jumper and try to work out what I did before. I thought I had written it down, but apparently
not!
Colinette recommends using 4.5mm
needles for Skye and so I started off using these, but I quickly decided that
the fabric was too thick and so I unravelled and started again using 5mm
needles.
Knitting a small “domino” square
shows the yarn to the best effect because it has a short colour change
sequence. These squares are 8 + 1 + 8
(17sts).
This time - I am writing the
pattern in rough as I go along and will record it on this blog when it is
finished – so that I don’t lose it again.
