I made so much progress on my Raindance over the last week! Spending seven hours in a car over the weekend on the way to and from Steamboat Springs will do that for a person.
It’s a lot of stockinette stitch and pretty boring but great for being in a car with nothing else to do. There’s a little bit of shaping for the front and back, but otherwise, it’s miles of stockinette.
The instructions give you options for joining the ends of the body together, and I went with a three-needle bind off, because I was too lazy to graft the ends.
Then I switched to the teal shade for the yoke, and am working away on that! I’ve separated for the left front and started working it, but I read the instructions incorrectly so I had to rip back yesterday afternoon. It’s really speedy though, so I expect this will be finished fairly quickly. I’m excited to wear this sweater as soon as possible!
can i just tell you, i wait for Saturday just so i can see your progress! as a hopeful future knitter or sweaters (on the regular) it is encouraging to see what you are working on.
Awww that’s really kind of you!!
GORGEOUS! Sweaterday is my favorite day. I really want to try sweaters more and you are a real inspiration to me.
You and Stephanie in the comment above are making me all weepy. In a good way. <3
[…] not entirely true, it just looks as though not a lot has changed. See last week I was about halfway through the front […]
