It still has no sleeves, which will be quick and plain with plain ribbing (famous last words!) and no collar to match the cables at the bottom. I’m concerned that I’ll need to add a few stitches to the collar so I can get it over my head, I’d forgotten how much cables pull the fabric together – much more than ribbing does! Still, I love the way that it pulls in and shows off my figure!
The cables made my fingers ache by the end so it stops just above my hips but even then I had to add little flares at each side so that it didn’t ride up so much.
Knitting on this has paused while I try and get the jacket done for my mum. I’ve done the left front before (of course) realising I should have done both at the same time to get them equal. I’ve learn my lesson though and I’m about a quarter of the way through knitting both sleeves together!
