A little TLC for the Ribby Pulli


This is one of the other projects that has been getting a little attention during my non-knitting phase. Yet an other Ribby (this one the pullover) from Chic Knits. I love this pattern. It's interesting, yet mindless knitting, and I love how it looks and fits. Perfect!

I'm using TLC Cotton Plus (a favorite yarn. Soft and easy care). I didn't think I had enough of the multicolor to do long sleeves, so I decided to do a fake layered pulli (a style that I favor when I buy tops). The first sleeve is done, but I'm not thrilled with the color stacking of the sleeve cap:


I might live with it (it's part of the quirkiness of working with multicolored yarns, and why I don't use them much), as I'm not really sure any fix would be worth the work (assuming I can even get it to not color spiral).

I'm getting close to have to make the decision on the neckline. I'm not sure if I want to do the scoop (and I'll double layer the neckband to highlight the fake double layered look) or if I will do the hoodie version (as it looks like I do have enough of the yarn to do that... or I could do the hood part in white, but I don't think I want that. Might look cool, but I think I would rather use up the multi and save my white for an other project).

Either way, I still have an other sleeve to go before I have to make the decision. Plus I'm still plugging away on the denim and lace Basic Chic Hoodie.
