yes it really feels great to promise yourself that you’ll try something different and then really go thru with it. i had fun - except learning how to graft the underarms - that wasn’t so fun. lol
Wow! Do you succeed so spectacularly at EVERYtHing you try? That’s an impressive looking sweater without any firsts attached, let alone three! Well done!
[B]u r too funny[/B] - but thanks for the compliment.
The only reason i think i was able to do this sweater at all is because of all the enthusiasm and excitement that all of you create on this forum. it’s a constant source of entertainment and commradery. It makes something i love to do any way a real joy, because i know there are so many of you out there ready and willing to support and share all the fun. Thanks to all
well, i don’t know if i’d call continental easier - it was a challenge for me and I definitely noticed i knit tighter using continental - but maybe that problem gets better with practice. but i’ll keep trying. the other thing now is to try continental style with something that has cables - we’ll see how that challenge goes.
My RED sweater is going to the “VIGDIS” from the Elsebeth Lavold book. and another RED sweater i just started this weekend (finished the back panel last night) is the the “Portia” from a Berroco booklet. it’s pretty easy so far, we’ll see how it goes with the next section. i LOVE RED.
wow! Good for you. It looks wonderful, and I have to force myself to do a ROW of continental, and I get too anxious for the finished product, thinking it’s going to take too long to learn continental!
