The fabric of this is pretty dense, and I have about an inch to 1.5 inches of ease all around on this cardi. The Olympic men’s short track skating was so thrilling, I lost track of what I was doing! This morning I woke up and remembered that I had planned to modify the pattern and bind off a bit at the armholes to make this a modifed drop shoulder instead of a full on drop shoulder. I ripped back my mistake on the Heather Hoodie, and re-knit back up to where I was, and then some. But they make me smile.ĭaffodils! and crocus! It must be spring.ĭo you know what these are? I think they’re gorgeous, and I saw a lot of them. Most of the pix are from my camera phone, so they’re not quite up to the usual standard. Temperatures in the 50’s, and it got sunny today! I took advantage of the break in the rain, and walked down to the local library. Thank you for purchasing this pattern.Īnd it really does feel like spring here. In other OXO news, I’m sending $265 from sales of my Hugs and Kisses OXO Cable Fingerless Mitts to Doctors Without Borders. No worries now I know that blocking is going to fix those! It’s about this very cable in the Heather Hoodie pattern. Then I finally opened a Knitting Daily email about blocking that had been sitting in my box for a week. I love the OXO cable on this.ĭo you see the little ladder at the center of the X in the OXO cable? Those were bugging me. I want to pick up stitches at the shoulder and knit down, rather than sew in the sleeve. This was the most I could bind off and still be able to pick up between the last 2 stockinette stitches before the cable panels. There were 8 stockinette stitches on each edge, so I bound off 6 for each armhole, which is about an inch and a half. I frogged 7 inches (almost an entire skein) on the back of my Heather Hoodie so I could go back and bind off for armhole shaping for a modified drop shoulder instead of having a standard drop shoulder.
