I told you I was going to do it! Bye, bye sweater!

No more sweater.

Hey, there’s a sweater!

Once again, now that I’m actually knitting it again, I have to say how delightfully lovely Cotton Fleece is. It drapes like a dream, and I love this color! When I hold it up to me, I feel all… girly! Even though it’s orange.

I have messed with it a little bit. I wanted to knit the 44 inch size, because my chest will never fit into a 38 inch sweater, no matter how thin I get, and 44 is the next one up. BUT, the 44 inch size has an even number of cable panels. I like it better when it has an odd number, causing one panel to go right up the middle of the sweater, like in the photo. SO, I’m starting my cables one rib in from the sides. My only concern is how it will look along the armholes, but I think it will be fine. Having the sweater mostly knit before I frogged it, I had the luxury of trying it out with both the “odd number effect”, and the “even number effect”, shifting the sweater back and forth until I could decide what I liked. The odd number of cables won out.
