My cowl collared pullover is continuing nicely. I’ve been keen to see the diffence of the appearance of the tone on tone yarn colours in the stocking stitch/cable sleeves in comparison to the very textured front/back. That’s partly apparent from my tension squares (swatches), but it’s good to see some finished pieces to see what it really looks like.
Here’s the completed back and the almost finished front. You can see what I meant about the colour change at the top of the back. I’d rather see this at the top or bottom, as it is, than as a band in the middle of a piece, so it’s working out OK. Both pieces were photographed on the same spot with the same lighting. Who know’s what the camera was doing? Not me!
I was OK with doing p3 togs all through every fourth row, but I’m happy to be onto the sleeves, which are stocking stitch, with a cable up the middle. There’s a bit less concentration required. 🙂
As for knitting in the middle of summer, we seem to be having a high 30’s day once a week, rather than an ongoing heatwave in other parts of the country, so the house hasn’t been heating up day after day. So the knitting continues. And I’ll have a lovely warm pullover to wear when summer is over. Yay!
