I know I know, I’ve been a bit distracted from knitting. Hard to believe but for a good reason, I’ve been following and blogging about one of my other favorite creative outlets, cooking.
Anyway I am back to work on my Chiton Pullover, yea! I’ve finished the belt, picked up a bunch of stitches and began working on the body of the garment. At this point I’m somewhere between the second and third increase rounds. It’s coming along well and I can only hope that when its all done it actually fits!
I try to have one project on my needles that will teach me something new and this one is it. So far I’ve learned to pick up stitches along a side edge and that doing a M1 (make 1 increase) the second stitch in can be a challenge, though I don’t know why. Maybe slipping the first stitch or knitting the last stitch TBL (through the back loop) on the belt has something to do with it? If anybody has an idea I’d love to hear from you!
So this is what it looks like so far:
More to come…
That looks like it’s going to be warm… I know someone that might want to make one for herself.
I’ll show her the pictures.
Hey Adam, thanks. I know its hard to see from the picture but it’s actually a spring weight pullover with cap sleeves. I’ll show you the next time I see you.
I’m just doing the part called “Divide for armholes and shape sleeves” and can’t figure it out. By “Next row (WS)” I’m lost.
Would love to see how you figure it out.
Hi Ann, thanks for your comment! I haven’t gotten to that just yet (almost there) but this is what I understand from reading it: you will be putting stitches on a stitch holder or scrap yarn and then knitting back and forth. You will start on the wrong side, so the inside of the garment should be facing you. I will blog about it when I get to this section for sure so please check back.
Love that color!
