Finished it, but could have been sooner
I was hoping to get this jumper finished by monday but at about 10:30 sunday night I had only got the one sleeve set in and two side seams sewn, and as I had college the following morning I didn't want to carry on sewing it up any later so I turned in and thought I will just carry on with it tommorow.
The next day I got home from college at around 5:45 it was because of those busses lol they take ages sometimes but ahh well, when I got home I wanted to carry on with the sewing but I was just to tired so I had my tea/dinner went on my laptop for a bit and then went to bed. It was only last night when I got home from college that I had the energy to finish it and I did I also washed and dried it before taking the picture so here is the sweater anyway and I think it looks so cute.
This is what I have got left on the cone after knitting the sweater, what do you think? do you reckon there will be enough to knit another sweater in a different tuck pattern or something? if i did make another I might do raglan sleeves, actually slip stitch might be nice also, I might use the knitradar again or I might use knitware not sure yet. I would be happy to listen to any ideas you might have.
Talk to you later

Looks fantastic - lovely assembly, looks very neat!
ReplyDeleteThanks phil, I am glad it turned out well,looks like you are making some nice things too.
ReplyDeleteThis sweater is adorable. I am going to be a copy cat and make my next one using the same tuck stitch pattern. You got it finished so quickly too. Great job Alex.
ReplyDeleteThanks maureen, don't worry about it, you get right in there and knit a sweater in that pattern I would love to see whatever you make in tuck :)
ReplyDeleteHappy knitting

Alex, I did a swatch in your tuck pattern then ironed it. It flattens right out. Maybe a good idea to tell your people you made it for not to iron it. I am still going to use it as I like it so much but will tell my people just to wash and tumble dry.
ReplyDeleteyeah, I suppose it depends what yarn you are using to, if it is acrylic it might go all thin and spoil the pattern a little.
