Just about done! I forgot to blog this earlier. There are only about 2 inches left of seaming under one arm plus weaving in ends. Actually...I try to leave those undone though in this case I won't.
There are issues with the fit I think. Also, the yarn is 80% cotton, 20% wool. The wool is really obvious, though, in that it's itchy. So I think I'll completely soak it and use some (a lot) of fabric softener and see if that negates the scratchy. That may help with the bunching I have in the back also.
The neck may need to be redone as well. It doesn't look tailored enough for me and this may have been a good time to ignore the pattern and pick up less stitches in the front to make the V look more crisp.
So you do the diligent thing and make a gauge swatch. All is good, right? Hrm… sure if you keep on the project consistently. Thing is, knitters may knit at one gauge one day and a different one another. Stress can affect gauge.
The back half was completed a while back and the second one I started around the time we began to pack for the trip. I had about 16 rows done just before we left and then about 4 inches into it, I thought I had better check it against the back. Good thing, too, because the difference of about an inch is really significant, I think.
This pattern is Interweave Knits Spring 07 issue, Slanted Neck Pullover.
I’m debating starting from scratch and trying to do this in the round, but I’m not quite confident enough to do that.My Groups
