I finished the cable, split for the two front pieces and the back, and finally tried the thing on. Does anyone else knit truly tight swatches? As in death-grip tight? Apparently I do.Luckily for my fingers, I loosen up while knitting. Unfortunately for my Gathered Pullover, I loosened up to the effect of an k. caseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05470308825104152445noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124148719302071579.post-34767537675308831192010-01-10T09:47:00.007-05:002010-01-22T13:28:00.654-05:00Simple KnitsI'm enjoying this knit, this Gathered Pullover. It's moving along quickly.
