Moving through the Knitty Spring Issue I am now working on Monica in yellow with a lavender ruffle. This is the first time I’m using this yarn — Cascade Sierra — and I have to say I’m pleased with it so far. You may have noticed I’m knitting the sweater in the round. I’m “adding” the side seams by purling the two stitches — one from the front, one from the back — that are where the seam would be. I was afraid that I would never get through both the long plain front AND back so by putting them in the round I really can just zone out and knit, plus after reading the pattern through it seems a perfect candidate for circular knitting. Okay, back to it…
looks like a lovely pattern. happy knitting!
I am curious to see how that goes, I would love to make one for my neighbor’s daughter. I would much rather circular knit than join seams.
