Only not this. I’m using the charts from this sweater but I’m putting them onto an Elizabeth Zimmerman Seamless Yolk Sweater.
Which means it’s worsted weight, a pullover instead of a cardigan, and I’m doing a pile of math.
This will be my first colorwork sweater, my first EZ sweater, &my first seamless yolk.
Let the games begin!!!
You can do it! I am thinking of breaking out some knitting for the Olympics.....maybe a shawl out of this yummy lace weight alpaca I have.
ReplyDeleteI suppose I'll be bringing my knitting tonight, then!
ReplyDeleteGood luck Jeanne! I'll be interested in seeing it when you're done - it's one of those sweaters I have in my future. For Ravelympics, I'm knitting socks while vacationing in Santiago, Chile and surrounds:)
ReplyDeleteI'll be eager to follow your progress. I'm planning to work through EZ's various sweaters this year, but I copped out a bit on the yoked sweater because I thought hers were not flashy enough. So I picked Laela (a Lopi Lite design) instead. Also, I need arms that are bigger than the 30% EZ suggests--mine are nearly 40%. But once Laela is done, I intend to go back to EZ's generic instructions to compare them--and perhaps knit another.
ReplyDeleteI like the yoke design you picked
Looks like it will be a great challenge! Can't wait to see it develop!
