For each skein, I'm switching sleeves so when one is done, the other will be almost finished and the sweater will be done.
It's 90 F/32 C today, so I decided to try it on. Fit's great.
The second pattern band on the sleeve was supposed to be the diagonal lines, second pattern down from the top on the body.
I got dizzy thinking about which way to run the diagonals on the sleeves so the sweater would look attractive, and decided to knit diamonds instead. I like the diamonds better and they're more fun to knit.
Pattern: White Gansey from Beth Brown-Reinsel's Knitting Ganseys
Yarn: Knitpicks Swish, a worsted weight superwash wool
Color: Pepper Red
Needles: Knitpicks Options #3
Gauge: 6 stitches/inch, 9 rows/inch in stockinette. A very firm gauge for this yarn but great for showing stitch definition.
