Since I have retired I have actually become monogamous with my projects, so I have been knitting away at my colorwork sweater. This morning I finished up the yoke and am now ready to place sleeve stitches on stitch holders and start working on the body. Before I get too far in to that endeavor I am going to skein up all my little balls of yarn, spit splicing them together so I don’t end up with a bunch of mini skeins, then wet them to get the kinks out and cake them up again. I’m pretty happy with how this is turning out, and my gauge looks to be pretty spot on. No, I did not do a gauge swatch, my earlier attempt served as my gauge swatch, and I have since checked the gauge on the yoke and seem to be on target.
