February Lady Sweater

In CategoryKnitting

Well another February has rolled around and I finally have begun the sweater project I’ve been longing for.  This is the February Lady Sweater knit with Brown Sheep’s Cotton Fleece.   I’ve knit two baby versions of this sweater without much problem, but this “grown ass” (pattern author’s own words) size is giving me quite a challenge.

I’ve sent this to the frog pond (rip it, rip it … ) on numerous occasions.  You can see the kinked yarn in this photo because it’s been torn out too many times.  My solution – thanks to the kind fellow knitters on Ravelry – is to place stitch markers every 7 stitches (gull lace pattern repeat).  Some of these little gems are visible.  Hopefully I’ll be able to cruise along and only fix mistakes easily located in the error section.  My goal is to finish this by the end of this month.  My regular job definitely is interferring with my goal setting.  Wish me luck!
