I really liked my stockinette swatch of the Ashen Wensleydale yarn, so yesterday I frogged Last Word and cast on Libraire by Tricot Design MCL instead. The yarn was still damp, so I didn’t even need to soak it to un-kink it. As I frogged, I wound the yarn onto my Niddy-Noddy, tied up the skeins and hung them up to dry. Libraire is a simple v-neck vest knit from the top down. My gauge doesn’t quite match the gauge called for in the pattern, I have more stitches per inch, so I’m knitting a medium, and because it is top down I can adjust the length as needed as I go. I am enjoying the knitting on this so much more, even if the stockinette curls like crazy. I’ve already finished the upper back and am ready to pick up the stitches for the upper front.
