Colinette Skye Jumper – Progress Report

I had hoped to have finished this jumper by now but unfortunately I have had to work long hours this week including working on my day off – so I have not made as much progress as I would have liked. 

I have knitted the back as one piece and the front as one piece and then I intend to join the sleeves at the top before adding ribs to the ends.

To give more room under the arms and to finish the neck opening at the front  – I have used triangles.

I thought things were going quite well, but I have realised that when I thought the sleeves were 5 squares long I had not counted the column of squares that end with the triangle – and so the sleeves should be 6 squares long.   However, this is the advantage of modular knitting – I can fix it.  I will add squares to the end of the sleeves before adding the rib.

To end on a more positive note – I am pleased with the colour of the jumper – I think you could call it brown.  I have managed to mix the different skeins quite well and I think I have got enough yarn left to lengthen the sleeves, knit the ribs and the button bands.  Then I will have my usual difficult search for buttons.
