Thanks to six hours of meetings yesterday I was able to finish most of the body of my Holly Sweater, finishing up the ribbing this afternoon. I only did eight rows of the ribbing, to match the collar. I do not like a lot of ribbing. I have considerably less ease than is recommended by the pattern, but I am pretty slender and would get lost in the sweater if I had knit it to the pattern gauge. I do like the gauge that I am knitting to, I think the stitch work looks pretty good and I’m pretty psyched to be on the sleeves of my first Fair Isle pullover. I have several other Fair Isle projects lined up to tackle next. This has been such a great learning experience for me. I have tried it on and I am very happy with the fit.
