So this weekend has seen a huge change in the sweater and design etc..
What happened this weekend?
- researched in my knitting books and found some great designs to use as inspiration
- decided I needed to add colors – so added a pale blue, gold, and white to the original red and denim blue and reworked the backgrounds of the motifs
- of course, now I need to go and buy the yarns – but I checked the colors of the yarn I am using and used only those in the same wool.
- spent many more hours fine tuning the colors and patterns and arrangement and…..
- borrowed one of my nephew’s sweater that fits a bit loosely to get good measurements
- measured the sweater
- readjusted the chart and patterns to fit the new measurements.
- continued to “design” the colors, now I have FOUR versions of the sweater to choose to knit. (YIKES)
Things to do:
- Monday get yarn in the colors I need
- FINAL check on size and chart and patterns
- Print chart in color
- CAST ON
oh BTW I want to finish this by Saturday. (send prayers …)
Here’s two of the patterns:

It was great to peruse the McGregor and Starmore books – amazing tomes of inspiration and instruction!
