I'm Disappointed



These new blog posts were supposed to be a humorous recount of my struggles with knitting.  However, I'm disappointed that I've had very few struggles to recount.  Maybe it's because I'm knitting a very simple part of the sweater right now which just requires knit stitch on the right side of the work, and purl stitch on the wrong side of the work.  Or maybe I'm just a naturally talented knitter (yeah right).

Regardless how well I'm doing right now things are about to get more interesting.  I have about 12cm to go before I start decreasing stitches and finish the lower body of the sweater.  I'll then have to move on to the sleeves, which upon reading the pattern are confusing me.  I fully expected to be knitting in the round for the sleeves, but it doesn't mention any knitting in the round in the pattern. 

I guess a good rule of thumb is to read through the entire pattern before confusing yourself.  The sleeves are not knitted in the round, but rather knitted normally and then seamed to form tubes after blocking the sweater.

I expect to be starting on the sleeves sometime this week. Onwards and upwards!
