Spring T!
While waiting around hospitals during Mom’s various annual exams (I was the chauffeur of the day), I started a new spring T. I’m using Karen Alfke’s Unpatterned Top-Down Koigu T-Shirt pattern. Instead of using Koigu, I’m using yarn that I spun with Lorna’s Laces rovings last year. The colorway is Tahoe. Instead of 6.5 sts/in, I have 6. But what’s wonderful about Karen’s Unpatterns, is that it’s a recipe, with all the information you need to change the pattern to match your gauge and your body. Nifty. Yes, I know. Nothing earth shattering if you’ve read Barbara Walker’s , but I fell in love with this T, and Karen’s enthusiasm is contagious.
Sarah Hauschka showed me the basics of combined knitting last month. I’ve been reading about it in . I decided to try it on the sweater while I’m still working the neck area in the flat. It’ll take a little use to before I can knit without watching my hands again. I’m also noticing that my purl row tension is a wee tighter than my knit row now. I’ll get better, I’m sure.
I’ll get pictures once I get further along (and I have more time). Tomorrow is South Bay Opening Day, and I’m cooking breakfast. I have to be at the club at 6, or was that 5? (BTW, I finished those darn course flags, and they were installed yesterday.)
Have a great weekend!
