We Have Armhole Shaping!
Okay, prolly boring to those who have knit garments before…
But, I am stoked. The thought that I’m down under 100 stchs per row helps too! :-)
I had knitting tea today at the LYS and I got a ton done. I did 7 or so rows before the shaping, plus the shaping. I still have a few more rows of decreases. I need to take a closer look at the neckline shaping as I’d like the back to go up higher. I often have pain patches and such on my upper back/neck that I’d like to be mostly concealed. I’ll have to see if I can just plain knit for say 3-4 inches before starting the shaping instead of the 2 inches the pattern calls for. We’ll see how adventuresome I get :-) Mom is giving me heck for not following patterns, but so far it has always turned out. And, I already didn’t follow the pattern because I didn’t do as many increases for the bust area as I’m terribly pear shaped and even though this one hits at the high hip, there was still a decent discrepancy. This means I should have 3-inc ease throughout the entire tank (*knocks on wood*).
Unfortunately I probably won’t make anymore progress today. Partially to rest my wrist and also because I have other work that needs doing :-( Nah, it’s okay work though…
Hi to those peaking in from the Knitting Blogs ring, my traffic has more than doubled the average of the past month! I hope you come back!
