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!!
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!
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!!
Plugging away on my Round Yoke Pullover and I have finished sleeve #1.
I did modify the pattern a wee bit to account for my upper arm size. I knit longer in plain stockinette than it called for until I had enough fabric to match where my arm tapers. I then followed all the pattern decreases and still stopped at the total required lenght.
I remembered to put in locking stitch markers to help me count and make the second sleeve match. I have the needles ready and just need some good light to pick up the second sleeve.
Happy Knitting!!
