I finally got the sleeves done for Matt's Baueresque Knockoff and I'm on the raglan shaping. Normally this is nice and fast... but since I'm doing this as a half zip, there's a little more work involved. Not just that I'm doing purl rows, but also the sleeve decreases (some of the decreases are worked on the wrong side). No biggie, just careful planning and good tracking.
I'm also hoping that I did the math right so my 9" zipper works! (working backwords from neckshaping to get the 6" or so I needed... let's hope that my gauge and row count are right!).
I'm very happy with the way this is turning out and the colors looks great together! I think Matt's going to love it.
I hope to get it done by Tuesday... as I should get my copy of Mass Effect 2 mid-week (pre-ordered it from Amazon). I'm assuming that even the minimal knitting I'm getting done right now will be gone once I get the game.
Matt's sweater looks wonderful at this point. Good luck with the weekend knitting.
ReplyDeleteYes to accommodate a zip it will take a little bit more work on the neck.beautifully done...the finished work looks excellent.
