I had a cold earlier this week, and I wanted to work on something fairly simple, so I pulled some orange yarn from Gryphon out of storage and started making a top that ought to be good for the transition to spring, should the transition to spring ever arrive.
The project is certainly keeping me entertained. Can you figure out how I knit what I have so far?
I’ve used a bit more than half of my yarn already, so it’s an open question how much length I’m going to be able to eke out of what remains. It should be fun figuring it out.
That looks rather suspiciously like a T-topper….
Did you begin at the right arm’s edge and make your way left? Or is it more complicated than that?
Seems like you are making this one side to side.
1 purl row and 4 stockinette
Is this what you are referring to?
That looks GREAT!! (I am possibly biased because I’m working with the same stitch pattern! To be posted to the design blog as soon as I can get myself to take pictures – and hoping that saying it will force me to get off my duff) Sorry, sidetrack. I do love the stitch pattern, and the vertical nature – I really enjoy stitch patterns used in different ways! And the yarn, of course. Is it a cardi or closed? Very excited to see more
It is a side-to-side construction?
It looks like side to side from the way the sleeves are attached, but I don’t know much about side to side construction, so I’m not sure.
But how can you be so productive? How fast do you knit? I am amazed by all you’ve produced lately. Not to mention all the design creativity. I have a lot of design ideas but I usually take the easy way out and knit someone else’s pattern. I have to get into your habit.
I’ve got maybe half a skein or so of that yarn leftover from a scarf I knitted ages ago if you’d like a little extra yardage for edging or suchlike – just let me know, I can easily drop it in the mail to you!
