November

How the heck did that happen? Time to start thinking about Thanksgiving plans and Christmas.

It also is time to start thinking about wool. Specifically nice wooly sweaters.

I’m currently knitting Shinsetsu. It was on the back burner for most of the summer, but now it’s just the perfect thing to knit. And I want to wear it before winter is over.

That’s the back. The front is all lovely cables and a wide shawl collar. The back is just plain knitting. I’m up to where the sleeves will be. I am modifying this in one way. The back is knit in reverse stockinette, meaning that what is normally thought of as the wrong side of the knit fabric is the public side. I detest the look of that, so I’m doing it my way.

Here is the pattern page on Ravelry so you can see what it looks like finished.
