Every evening I knit, it is very relaxing, I’m not in a race, the sweater will be completed when it is finished.
The row on the blue background was supposed to be a mirror image of the pattern in the middle of the yoke. I made one small mistake and it is not exactly the same. Which is fine, this is how patterns are created.
The body of the sweater is finished. I was sort of trying to get the patterns to line up in the front. Nope, I didn’t succeed, but really who cares, there will be a blue button band. If someone notices and comments, my answer will be: I’m not a machine, I’m a human. I have created a sweater which is artistic but I’m to going for some mechanical level of perfection.
I’m hoping that I have created something that is pleasing to the eye, the distribution of dark against light.
Looking from this angle I’m seeing how the yoke is differentiated from the body, because of the circle vs. the straight knitting.
The back is beautiful, no breaks. I did repeat the narrow blue stripe between patterns, repetition makes the whole easier on the eye.
Here you see the move from yoke to body even better. It will be very interesting to see what happens when I knit the sleeves.
Then it was on to sewing, making some dresses for Shira.
I love sewing her dresses! She is growing so fast, it is scary.
This fabric is a knit. It is a polyester velvet. A little tricker to work with, but oh my – how gorgeous. How festive how lovely!
Took these two to Polywog park, it’s always fun to explore a new playground!
