I love it. I wish I could give suggestions but you are doing amazing. Hopefully one day I will be able to do something like this.
I did not see all the pictures but now that I do, oh wow. This is amazing work.. I think it’s beautiful. You give me something to aim for
Oh thanks so much.
I’ve just pulled all the seams out and frogged the neck so it’s back in pieces again. I’m going to try the higher neck. If it looks bad, well, I’ll frog again.
This is actually not hard to knit at all, it was hard to work out how to make neat increases and decreases, but the farbic itself is reasonably basic. I’m sure you can make something like this too.
Thanks. I aim for it
Just stopping by with an update to this.
Frogging and reknitting was done last week but I didn’t have the strength to try on until today.
I shortened the sleeves by a repeat, about 5 cm, they are better now.
I raised the neck by a repeat. Hmm…not great.
It looks sort of fine, it’s not as high as a crew neck, it still has the v shape, the measurements are fine, but… I don’t like it.
It looks sort of awkward at this height and, worse than that, the neckband feels sort of tight in the row end stitch (it feels like a too tight bind off, but this is not a bind off, it is a row end). The neckhole is not too small to get on and off but that tight line feels wrong. All the rest of the fabric is soft and flexible.
So, hmmm… don’t know what to do.
It seems I need the v to begin half way between the lower and higher positions - don’t know how to do that. Or I need to lower it to where it was and as @Mel61 suggested find a new way to decrease less frequently. No idea how. Or scrap this V neck idea and go for a totally different shape - don’t know what.
Urgh, the trials of knitting! I have put a lot of time and effort into this design and into working out increase and decrease shaping to flow nicely with the cables.
