Not The Best Weekend
So, you might have guessed that I didn't have the greatest holiday weekend. Surprisingly, the Knitting Gods didn't think a broken "newly repaired" sewing machine & a cold were quite enough. I ran into a snag on the Baby Reefer Jacket which, to be fair, is completely my own fault, but annoying just the same. I decided to make the two fronts & back all in one piece, and just divide for the sleeves. Simple, no? Actually, no. It turns out that the sweater is made with drop sleeves, so there I was knitting away, when I finally double checked the pattern and realized that I was going to end up with one great big piece of knitting with no armholes. AND, there are no schematics for the pattern, so I have no idea how far down the body the sleeve will actually reach, so I decided to break at a reasonable spot for the sleeves and hope for the best. I can either steek or sew a bit if I'm off, but I'm really hoping it will be the sewing option...
