Yesterday I finished binding off the body. I elected not to work the folded hem (Kitchener stitching all those stitches in dark wool? No thank you!) and instead worked the ribbing pattern from the neck, after working two rounds of the blue to provide a break between the patterning and the ribbing. I’ll work the same ribbing pattern on the sleeves. And I’ve already started working one of the sleeves. Some relatively mindless (just mind the decrease rows) knitting. The fit, even unblocked, is pretty good. I think the ease may be a bit on the larger side, but if I had gone down a size, I think it would have been a tad tight in the shoulders. The announcement for the patterns for the second quarter Canadian Collaboration from Fleece and Harmony came out today - Seagulls. I’m going to pass this time, and instead do a knit along with Carol Feller of Stolen Stitches. The pattern is a really cool cardigan with an unusual construction. I ordered the yarn kit from her and already have it. It starts April 1.
