Once I got to the halfway point in my second skein I decided to work on the front yoke. My primary concern was that when I started working the third skein I would be at the same point on both the front and the back, or pretty close, anyway. The first skein went further on the front than it did on the back. I started the second skein on the front about the spot where I joined the two front pieces. I have now started working the back again using the other end of the skein so that I can try to keep the yarn usage even and switch to the next skein at about the same point on both the front and the back. I also wanted to get both going so that I could make sure that my armhole is deep enough, and with the construction it just didn’t seem as straightforward to measure things and be sure that I was getting it right. I’ve tried it on to make sure of the fit, as well as trying it on my dress maker dummy.
I think it is looking pretty good.
And it is looking pretty even. I think I can alternate rows between the front and the back until I use up this skein, and then switch to the next one.
I do have a little more ways to go before I can join the front and the back, but it’s getting there.
