The floats would still be an issue, but maybe less so on the rows where there is only a few CC stitches.Your entire office will be able to use your search subscription. I wonder if it would work to divide the chart into quarters, 2 front and 2 back, and use separate CC yarn balls for each quarter. But then the floats… I’m both intrigued and terrified by your Papa experience. Now, this pattern has been in my queue for months. It definitely helped that the sweater wasn’t “done except for sleeves.” I will try knitting the sleeves before I finish the body for my next top-down sweater, which may be Papa. In fact it was the fastest I’ve ever completed an adult-size sweater. So it’s not the sleeves, it’s the small circumference tubes! I recently completed a bottom-up sweater where I worked the sleeves before the yoke, per instructions, and surprised myself with how efficiently I got through it. Tickets are going fast-get yours here.Īs always Ann, you’ve given me new insight! Now my problem with sleeves makes sense – I don’t enjoy knitting socks either. We’ll be there all day, with Atlas yarn to mong (we are yarnmongers, after all) and all the visiting we can cram into seven hours. “A celebration of our diverse, inclusive, and extraordinary fiber community,” say the co-founders Felicia Eve and Catherine Clark.
PS For those of you headed to Rhinebeck, we’re really proud to be a sponsor of Wool & Folk, the all-day party on Friday, October 14 in Kingston. Mood: After 10 billion duplicate stitches, relief that I’m only a pair of arm socks from glory. And when you throw in the capricious short rows on the back that turn this one-size-only design into a sculptural, knitted sweaterpod, well. The duplicate stitch on this design nearly broke me. Your Papa is about to become my Papa-I am not going to Rhinebeck without two arm socks firmly affixed to my Papa. Junko Okamoto, you are a temptress and a vixen and I gotta say, you are not going to get the best of me. The first time I glimpsed a Papa pullover was at Rhinebeck, when a group of knitters casually wandered around in their matching Papas like it was no big deal to have three women wearing one of the most confounding and cool designs ever invented. Mood: Motivated like Mary Anne the steam shovel.
The motifs in the Cider Mill yoke harken to Rhinebeck so specifically that I may end up with a moment in this sweater where I am eating an apple cider donut while drinking coffee and listening to pan flute music all at the same time. Jen Geigley’s Cider Mill was designed specifically to pay tribute to things at Rhinebeck that are universally beloved: apple cider donuts, coffee, autumn leaves, and pan flutes, played by a band that pipes out cheerful music all day long. It’s already making a huge difference in how I see this stretch of knitting ahead. And sleeves tend not to be knitted on size 1 needles. I dislike knitting sleeves yet love knitting socks? They’re basically the same thing. They’re a useful part of a sweater, really-arms appreciate a covering, right? And yet, they remain among the most-maligned, least-loved moments of sweater knitting. My aim of two new sweaters to pack for Rhinebeck is going to require the sternest discipline to get to the finish line in time. Reporting from a mildly frantic knitting scene down here.
