I’ve now completed two fronts for this jacket. I’m working on a new back as I found I had not made the first one I did, big enough! Not sure where my head was… :??
Now the fronts are 13" long and so the back must be the same…
The right front was a pain to do as I struggled with the yarn snagging on everything including itself and the yarn I had added to it.
I took it apart twice… if you thinking frogging is bad with ordinary yarn, it’s 10X worse with shaggy stuff.
Anyway, it got done and I got started on the left side, which I only had to undo once (I’m improving… :)).
The instructions for making the neck decrease was not as clear to me as the armhole decrease so the left front ended differently than the right front… but the mistake was in the right front, not the left front. So the top of the right front of the jacket had to be ripped out and redone… easier said than done and I felt I showed great patience when it took me about an hour to get it to release itself so I could knit it over. (not sure hubby feels I was terribly patient… :))
I decided not to pull out the back but leave it be. I have lots of this yarn… I’m just hoping I have enough of the other yarn… the colour yarn, so I can knit the sleeves as well…
In case you are wondering… I’m determined to finish the darned thing… wish me luck!
TEMA :teehee:
