A Cardigan in July

No, I’m not wearing a cardigan in July, but I’m knitting one! I finished the back last night, so now the body is all finished (minus the neck and front bands, but those happen last). I’m on to the sleeves next, or maybe I’ll weave in the ends. I haven’t decided yet. I usually use my tiny 9 inch long circulars for sleeves, but I don’t have a big enough size for this project. I only have up to size 8’s (5.0 mm), and while I knit the body on 8’s, I’ve learned from experience to go up a size with the short circulars because I knit tighter on those. I could try to track down a set of 9’s, or I could knit the sleeves using magic loop or double points. I think it’s time to decide how I want to do this!

Merry Karma said...: I do sleeves at the same time with magic loop or two circs. Looking good!; 9:45 AM
