On the Needles – February 5, 2016

I hope to see at least a couple of Hitofudes in the link ups!

Here’s mine:

And the back:

Oh, how I love making this cardigan. I’m already thinking about making a third one – maybe in white or barely off white – just a good sweater to have for wearing in a cool restaurant. But, when I start thinking about white, I start thinking of all those gorgeous colors of yarn and am not sure white is a good color for me . . dogs, cats, chickens . . who knows but I’m thinking there will be a third one.

For my size, it said to make 4 repeats of Chart A for the lower body. To increase the length, I made 5 and have just now started on Chart B. My plan is to do Chart B, Chart C, Chart D and Chart E as directed and then do one more repeat of Chart E, or maybe just the last 8 rows again. So, that means I have either 83 or 91 rows left, before the ribbing and depending on whether I repeat all of Chart E or just half of it. So that means if I do about 33 rows today, and 33 rows on Saturday and Sunday each, I could be done by the end of the weekend.

My Loopy Academy yarn should all be here by Saturday and I’ll be chomping at the bit to get started on those projects but I don’t want to stop this one so close to being done so I’ll probably finish up Hitofude #2 before starting one of the Loopy Academy projects.
