Yeah for me! The finished sweater.
So, me the grasshopper of the knit world - in between knitting 2 socks at a time on magic loop, a couple of Kate Davies irresistable shop samples and my own designs, I finished my sweater. To put this in perspective - this has used some of my enormous stash of chunky weight wool and will hang about so any one in the family or peeps visiting the frozen castle here - up North can wear it - it'll fit anyone. I also have tons of Aran weight so I may knit up an Aran weight stripy
Oh No! Putey breakdown
Anyhoo - two sleeves in and I had 211 sts in all. I needed a number that would divide by 9 (K7, k2tog for the forst lot of decreases, then k6, k2 tog etc) So I lost 4 sts on the first round I knit and then I had 207 and 9 goes i nto that 23 times. so every round I decrease I lose 23 sts and I'll do that about 5 times and end up with neck sts. My yoke will be about 10"/ 25cm deep so if I dec every 8th round or so I'll fit the dec rounds in OK I'm using up some of my stash chu
