Knitting is a constant battle between trusting the pattern and trusting your gut. My pattern wants me to knit another half inch of ribbing here but I think I’m going to call it now.
#adventures in knitting#I stopped knitting the body so I could knit the sleeves#and then safely knit the body until the yarn ran out#or I decided it was long enough#whichever came first#but as I was knitting the sleeve I realized they were going to sit funny and it would be hard to judge length#until the neckline was finished#so I took a break from sleeve one to do the neckline#which was cursed#it’s still a little cursed#there’s still a slight fuckip#but I’m not starting over again fuck that#it’s fine now!#I’m not totally following the pattern anyway#I like this pattern but the green yarn is baby alpaca#which will grow and stretch#so I decided to do the ribbing in a wool silk blend I had in my stash#that way as the main sweater grows the neckline will keep it wearable#the pattern calls for bell sleeves but I’m debating doing balloon sleeves for the same reason#we’ll see
