WIPW: Growing Artichoke French
I’m becoming addicted to my Artichoke French and its showing in the growth since Monday. I’ve tried it on and there will be no surprise frogging when I get to the sleeves. It’s always nice to go back to thicker yarn after spending time with sock weight. Also I need more of Tess’ Designer Yarns in my life. So glad a friend pointed me at them this past Rhinebeck.
I’ve completed the waist increases and, am knitting my way to the underarm separation. Soon it will be time to cast on sleeves and start knitting those as well. At the rate I’m going could I finish this sweater in a month? Fingers crossed, knocks on wooden needles. I suppose as long as I don’t lag on the sleeves or make two left sleeves it should be doable. I’m already at 10″ and the 36″ calls for a 16 1/2″ body.
If I can finish this that quickly it might be time to pull some things that have been languishing in WIP hell and wrap them up. There were a few times during the polar vortex where I really wished my color affection or my Lothlorien cape were done. And running out needles and cables is a silly thing to do, though it did give me an excuse to order some Caspian needles and cables from Knit Picks. I didn’t even get free shipping. I was restrained for once.
