Knitting Notes

Orbits sweater

It occurred to me that I haven’t posted about my sweater project in a while. I finished the body a couple weeks ago, and then just had some trouble wrapped my head around joining the sleeves back on, in pattern. I did finally do that about a week ago, and got to the end of the colorwork a couple days ago. I had had to use DPNs because I didn’t have circs small enough for sleeves. And I pretty much knew my floats were too tight, but I soldiered on to the end of the colorwork. And guess what? My floats were definitely too tight.

So that’s been frogged, and I have some smaller diameter circs on order. If I can’t make that work, I may have to scrap this sweater, and remember to only do colorwork on pieces where I can user longer needles. I really hope the shorter circs work.
