...and we're off!
The torch is lit in Rio, and this morning I cast on for my sweater. My goal is to make a seamless, saddle shoulder henley out of Wensleydale wool from
Triskelion Yarn and Fiber.
A half-assed gauge swatch shows me at 5.5 stitches per inch, which makes my key number 235. I cast on 20% -- 47 stitches -- while waiting for my oil change and tire rotation this morning. I didn't have a second needle with me to pick up the provisional stitches to close the hem, but discovered it's not too difficult to grab those stitches from the back of the crochet chain.
I've never worked a sweater starting with the sleeves, but it seems like a better plan than starting with the body.
More about this "Rio Sweater" project as the Olympics unfold.
