One Third

I finished the back piece of my new cardigan sweater this morning. That means the whole thing is about a third done. Fronts and sleeves left to knit, then the sewing up.

This is the pattern I’m using. I can’t say enough good things about the CustomFit patterns. It’s “easier” to just buy a pattern and start knitting, but this has you do your body measurements first, then customizes the pattern to your measurements, using your exact stitch and row gauge. I’ve always found it sort of a crap shoot whether sweaters are going to fit or not. With this method, I suspect I have a fighting chance. Her designs are all fairly classic shapes, nothing really very trendy, and I think they are all knit bottom up and in pieces. Check it out if you’re looking for something similar.
