Pudge Loves PT's Yarn!
I feel like this project is going very slowly because I can only work on it when PT isn’t home. But luckily for me, however unluckily for PT, he has been working late the past few nights!
I keep everything I need for the sweater in a bag hidden under some other bags. I pull it out when I’m working on it, so just in case PT comes home I can just shove it in a bag that looks like a million other bags of yarn I have all over the house! As you can see, Pudge Rodriguez approves of the yarn I picked out.
Progress!
Last time I checked in with PT’s Modified Cambridge Jacket, I had just barely cast the thing on. I was trying to figure out how to cast the entire sweater on as a pullover and add a ribbed hem. It looks good so far! I had to knit the whole body for 14 1/2 inches before dividing to work just the back piece.
Side, and Armhole Shaping
The side ribbing looks great, I really love the K2P3 ribbing. I stuck with the instructions for the armhole shaping (smallest size). I kept up with the pattern, only two ribs made it through the decreasing, until I was supposed to add more ribbing at the shoulder blades.
Shoulder Blade Ribbing
As written: Mark center 22 sts with waste yarn or removable markers. Next Row: (RS) K1 (edge st), work in established rib to 12 sts before marked center sts, [K3, M1, P1] 3 times, K22 marked center sts, [P1, M1, K3] 3 times, work in established rib patt to last st, K1 (edge st).
… seriously?
I knit my ribs. [K3, PFB] 3 times, K3, P2, (17 new rib sts), K to within 17 sts of established rib, P2, K3, [PFB, K3] 3 times, work ribs.
Love it! I’ve got 23 center stitches instead of 22, but I’m not sweating it. I had to do some finagling to knit the body in the round.
The real challenge will be figuring out the front! I’ll be knitting both sides at the same time to the front rib, separating for the button band? Maybe?
I’ll worry about that when I get to it!
