Collar And Sleeves

It’s been a minute since I showed you my Love Note and I got a wild hair to abandon the body and work the finishing part.

I knit the sleeves according to pattern but on a US 8 instead of the US 9 I am doing for the body. I just couldn’t find small circumference needles in the correct needles size. After knitting both sleeves, the gauge is close enough. I used half of the second skein of sock yarn and almost a full ball of mohair for these.

And I deviated from pattern on the collar. I followed all the directions but I didn’t use the super small needles called for. I used size 8s to make sure I had wide enough and stretchy enough collar to fit over my noggin.

Now to just cruise through the body and high/low hem for a finished sweater! Happy Knitting!!

  1. Isn’t it amazing how blocking can change lace work, which always looks deceptively rumpled up before blocking, into a work of beauty, will be looking forward to the blocking.
