Yes, I Started Another One.
No, I still haven't finished the Raglan Sweater. Nor gotten back to the Hybrid Sweater. I guess I'm not looking forward to sewing up the tops and bottoms, and trying to figure out the pithy directions.
Instead, I've been knitting this all week, and here's what I have to show. It's going to be a polo pullover . . . I've got the placket stitches all bound off and steeks cast on (you can't see it because there's that funky stockinette stitch rolling going on). I'm a bit concerned that it might be just teensy bit too small for me, but Hubby assures me that it looks just fine (isn't that what husbands are supposed to be saying?). And I think blocking will take care of this problem just fine.
What I haven't decided yet is if I'm going to knit the sleeves in the round or in the flat. As you can see, It's going to be set-in drop shoulder - I've got 16 stitches on hold at either side. As for the neckline, it's going to be round, and I'll cast on another steek and decrease there. I'm also not sure if I'm going to have a fold-down collar or not. And I'm thinking about shaped shoulders, which would mean short rows. Is it possible to have shaped shoulders in the round? lots of thinking to do in the coming week. Maybe I should get started on sewing up the raglan sweater when I reach a good stopping point. I need to have at least one FO by the end of the month.
