Why when I hate knitting rib do I decide to knit a rib sweater?
Progress has been slow, partly as I've had to drop 3 needle sizes to get gauge and my hands don't like having to hold such small needles these days. I'm now on the back armholes and am hoping to get to start the front before I go to the show in Birmingham on Thursday. I'm looking forward to the journey time to memorise the cable pattern for the front.
The yarn is Debbie Bliss Alpaca Silk but as she doesn't design patterns to fit me I'm adapting another pattern for Aran weight yarn. The yarn feels good to work with but I was not impressed to find an average of 2 joins per ball so far when the balls are only 65m. Photos soon when I've charged my camera.
