I’m not sure what this says for the rest of the year, but the first Yarn Along of 2019 is mostly ‘un-knitting’.
Grandma’s sweater went from basically done to a bunch of balls of yarn. She’s been having trouble with her shoulder (physio finally, now that holidays are over) and she had such a struggle getting into the sweater. I think the ‘hand’ of the sweater is too loose/soft/stretchy for her. Also the sleeves didn’t fit her biceps well at all. So I sucked it up and ripped it all out. Now what? Elizabeth Zimmerman to the rescue again (plus sale on yarn at Michael’s). I’m making her a fair isle cardigan with Elizabeth’s magic percentage formula. That lets me make a sweater at any gauge and any size. I decided on a fair isle because I don’t think I have enough of the ‘black’ for a firmer sweater. This way I bought some grey and variegated purple to do the pattern work. I may add some at the bottom too.
hope the new cardi goes well! sometimes frogging is the best one can do. I am sure you will make a really nice new one! lots of love to you!
sorry you undid a sweater but I’ve done that many times and I’m always glad I did it. I hope the new sweater works out better!!
