I have been obsessed (not an exageration) with working on Moira. Progress is being made!!
I put the neck on yesterday. Big news for me since it involved picking up and knitting stitches. It went pretty well. I realized after doing it that it didn’t mean to knit the stitches that had been on the front and back holders, and instead, I should have kept in pattern. But, alas, the neck is on!! I pulled it on after finishing the neck just to see if everything was sizing up ok, and I really do think I am going to like it! As you can see I have 1 sleeve done, and the 2nd is about 1/4 of the way done! YAY!!
On the front I did a Cable 2 twist on the border edge of the center panel.
This yarn is a little drapey and squishy for this large (and rather heavy) project. So I thought it just gave better definition than the simple K2 that the pattern states….see…..
I have a feeling the heaviness of the sweater is going to make it pull out of shape. But it feels wonderful and shows off the cables so nicely! AND I really thought I was going to run out of yarn. I am getting ready to wind my last hank to finish the sleeve….then with the bits I have left from all of the other hanks I am hoping to make it to the finish line!
