  • we have sleeve

    Two sleeves, actually. This pic’s better for the colour…although it’s a bit darker in real life.

    I also started a most yummy sock, one that can actually travel with me (unlike the blue ones on Lantern Moons – they were 2.25 mm, by the way).

    They’re Koigu Kersti, on 3.5 mm needles, destined to be knee socks if I have enough yarn (we’ll see). They are so nice and cushy, and should be fast, too!

    Tonight at SnB I shall work on the sleeve of the Corset Pullover and try to get it done. I need to knit it to match the other one (which I screwed up the twisted ribbing on, but you can’t tell) so I should probably pay attention on that one…

  • slim

    That might be what you need to be to wear this sweater – which I am decidely not. All I can say is, I hope it shrinks a lot lengthwise but not widthwise. The bust fits fine, it’s over the stomach and hips that it may not be too flattering…oh well, time will tell.

    I was, however, referring to my yarn supply.

    I should have enough for the remaining sleeve, lace edging (it’s only 2 pieces, 4 rows each) and a swatch to wash up for seaming with.

    I did a three-needle bindoff on the shoulders (love that shortrow shoulder) and tried it on for length. I made it longer on purpose for the shrinkage factor, but the armscye might still be a little bit too long. So I’m going to wash the front+back and sleeves separately, then see how it looks. If the armscye is still too long it won’t be such a huge hassle to undo the bindoff and shorten it a bit.

  • dammit

    Not my precious Lantern Moons…I was even trying to be careful. I guess it was bound to happen, sigh.
