It has been a very busy week but
I have managed to knit several more L-shapes.
I have done most of the front. I
intend to knit this jumper in 2 pieces – a front including the front of the
sleeves, and a back including the back of the sleeves. I know some people like to avoid seams but I
like to keep things simple.
I also sew the ends in as I go
along – not on the edges, but as soon as a shape has been surrounded by others -
if you see what I mean. Again I know
some people like to knit ends in but I find that this makes the fabric bulky or
lumpy. I can also use the ends to darn
any holes that have appeared when I was picking up stitches!
I started with a big pile of yarn
but I have gradually thrown out yarns that were too thin or did not look quite
right with the other colours. Generally
I am going for a dull look with the odd highlight.
This photo shows the current
state of this project.
