Blast from the Past #3
Here is another machine knit sweater, ca. 1987. It's made of a tweedy yarn, don't remember the manuafacturer or the exact fiber content, except that it wasn't a natural fiber. This one I knit for myself.
Just like Blast from the Past #2, this sweater is too wide and too short. Both patterns were handknit patterns that I transferred over to the machine. I wonder if there's something about machine knitting that results in a different stitch/row relationship?
I'm down to the heel flap on the Koigu sock. It seems to be knitting up very quickly. I let Lochinver lie last night - I need to get some stitch holders today before I move to the back yoke. I also need another skein of Koigu...I sense another trip to the LYS! Maybe I can fit that in between dentist appointments for kid nos. 1 & 2 and piano lessons for kid nos. 3 & 4.
