The Basic Round Yoke Pullover is done and blocked.
The body is great, the sleeves are great and the neckline is loosy goosey. I need this to finish drying and then I think I will grab a crochet hook to add a line of reinforcement inside the neck ribbing. Maybe two?
I think that will give some structure to keep the neck from stretching past my bra straps. And if I hate it….it rips out super easy. I just need to find my hooks….
Happy Knitting!!
As I had hoped, the short rows didn’t mess me up too much on my Cozy Classic Raglan. I am now fully working in the round on a long circular.
I am at the point where it’s just raglan increases for several inches. Doesn’t take a lot of brain space but I do need to count occasionally. The increases in this pattern are new to me but I think they will work out just fine. It should be interesting to see how this one comes out compared to KFB that I have done a ton.
Happy Knitting!
It’s finally done with endless stockinette! My Round Yoke Pullover is at the hem!
That does mean I have a very large amount of stitches on the needle that I will have to do many rows of 1×1 rib…..not super sure why I am celebrating! I have a few meetings today and then plans tonight. Can I power through ribbing?
Happy Knitting!
With Round Yoke Sweater getting so close I game myself permission to start the Cozy Classic Raglan.
I knit the neck ribbing and then worked all the short rows. I latter finishing and counting the stitches in each section…..I realize I didn’t short row correctly. I mixed up my stitch markers. It’s not super evident unless you count.
I think on the next row I am just going to true up the stitch counts with some increases/decreases hidden along the raglan seam. The overall effect is still a raised back neck. But who knows, I may regret this later!
Happy Knitting!!
Coming out of our Thanksgiving food coma and my Round Yoke Pullover saw some decent action over break.
I need to get to 14 inches of body before the hem. And we are supposed to be getting some serious winter weather and our first blast of the year. I am hoping to parlay that into finishing this body yet this week.
It’s nice just to be cozy and go round and round with basic stockinette. I did slip this on by putting in an extra needle and the fit is on good track. Definitely needs a block to make the sleep longer and the body wider.
Happy Knitting!!
It’s December 1st and that means it’s time to cast on advent socks!
True to my habits, I grabbed the Cozy Knitter 24 stripe advent for 2025. I prepped both toes with the contrast skein and I’m ready to start the first stripe later today. I do plan to use the contrast yarn to add flecks in between color changes.
This may mean I won’t be able to do the heels in the contrast. And that is a future Rachelle problem 😝
