What'cha Knittin'?

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Sienna]I think I had more fun designing and drafting this pattern than anything I’ve ever made.
It took 3 weeks of trial and error just to create stitch patterns.

Orthopedic issues have me knitting only small things now. This is size 9 months. I used measurements from several books.

It’s Caron’s SPA yarn. I really like this yarn, it’s very soft, light weight and machine washes and dries nicely. But it does require a watchful eye for splitting.

Front 1.

Front 2. Yup, thanks to a neckline without shaping, there are two fronts.

I did two rows reversed above the wrist ribbing to make the cuff fold up neatly.

Here’s the placket open.

And another view of a sleeve.

[FONT=Comic Sans MS]Thanks a bunch. You’ll get there. Start slow and persevere.
It took me years, starting with simple changes to printed patterns and working up to drafting my own.

Now I keep looking for new and different challenges,
and I have no other job responsibilities at this time in my life.[/FONT]

Thank you very much.
The pattern is one of those unwritten creative things
that rattled around in my brain until I finished it.
I design using “my signature” method. :frog:
