Frieda Sweater
First, I would like to thank you for your kind and encouraging comments about my Kepler Sweater! Right now I think I will put it aside for awhile and re-visit it later when I’m less frustrated with the project.
In other sweater news…I am happy to report that the Frieda Sweater from Debbie Bliss Alpaca Silk is going well! I finished the back last week and am currently working on the front.
I love watching the cable pattern develop! This is my first project that involves shaping while knitting a pattern (i.e. not stockinette), so initially I had difficulty understanding the instructions. Being a visual learner, I ended up making tables to map out the increases and decreases by row. That helped me immensely. I also had an “a-ha!” moment when I discovered that I misread the pattern. I thought it said that the 4th and 11th rows make up the cable pattern. I was really confused by this for a minute before I realized that it actually read “the 4th to 11th rows form the cable pattern.” Ah. One word makes a huge difference, doesn’t it? It’s not quite turtleneck-sweater-weather here yet (still had 70-degree weather this past week), but I hope to finish it in time for winter.
That’s really lovely and your cables are beautiful
That color is beautiful. The cables are looking great. I’m glad you were able to Kepler aside to figure out a plan of attack for it. It’ll be worth it
That is a gorgeous color. Are you using Alpaca Silk or a sub?
It looks beautiful and you’ve gotten a lot done already! I love Debbie Bliss patterns! What yarn are you using?
Looks good so far! I’m glad your frustrations with Kepler haven’t prevented you from knitting sweaters. =)
very pretty pink and cables!! freida is a great looking sweater, i think you will did a great job. sorry about your kepler, i think letting it sit for a while and revisiting it later is a v. good idea. maybe it’ll grow on you.
Looking good! I have yet to wear my Frieday - darn warm weather. I’m sure you’ll be done with yours before it gets cold enough to wear it.
Freida is looking gorgeous! it is going to be just fantastic.
I am sure you will conquer your Kepler blues. But for the time being it is probably a good idea to give it a break.
That is an amazing color. I can’t wait to see this one, Caitlyn!
Oh my God, that looks great! What a lovely shade of pink! I bet this one’s fun to knit, can’t wait to see more.
Frieda looks great and you’ve been busy knitting her up. Aren’t the cables so pretty? I just love them. I can’t wait to see more.
Lovely lovely!! I really like the color, but of course I would because it’s pink! Grace has a ton of cables as well, and I really enjoy working on them!
So pretty! You are making good progress, too.
ok, first of all, VERY pretty color. VERY you. =) and second, yea, i agree, what’s up with the weird weather!? thanksgiving is 3 days away and we’re still bright and sunny and warm in the 70’s. =P
Wow. The cables look awesome. You’re going to have one beautiful sweater when you are done!
Frieda looks good. I love those chunky braids. DB has a good eye with designing cable sweaters.
