Fifth no, perhaps the
sixth - no, probably the
seventh - heck, I can't remember how many times I tackled the I-Cord on Elizabeth Zimmermann's 50th Anniversary Sweater. But success at last. Two layered attached I-Cord.
Somewhere I read that once the stitches have been picked up for the first layer of attached I-Cord, in the correct ratio - huh! like that was easy to figure out - the second layer just falls into place. Another Huh! Like that was true.
I have one wiggly front edge.
That left side is about an inch longer than the right side. Hoping I can shrink the heck out of this Alpaca with blocking, at this time, I have no plans to re-do that front.
Otherwise the sweater fits nicely, looks lovely and is one to be worn with pride. All the details tomorrow.
Congratulations on reaching the summit! That knit is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHooray! Congrats on wrestling the I-cord into submission. Such a beautiful cardi! Can't wait to see the modeled pics.
ReplyDeleteI can already tell this is going to be a great sweater to wear this season.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's not too wiggly. I've seen worse. I once put on a button band that was ruffled! Bleh.
I'm also looking forward to the modeled shots.
Well done. I really like that I-Cord finish. The sweater look great so far.
ReplyDeleteIt really looks nice. You should put pictures of the evolution of your sucess side by side in a post...practice makes perfect.
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see the modeled shot and the details - nice job!
ReplyDeleteSEVENTH?!?! You're a much better woman than I! And I don't see the wiggles at all. Love the sweater!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so fine, so fine. More pictures please!
