I had run into a bit of trouble with the pattern instructions for the increases on the sleeves that had me scratching my head for a day or so, but I PMed the designer on Ravelry and she was super helpful. Seems it was the term "repeat" that was the cause for confusion for me -- a general theme when it comes to my not understanding something in a pattern! Fortunately, thanks to some great customer service/pattern support, I had it figured out so fast that there was no delay in my knitting time.
It may be a bit unrealistic, but I'm hoping to have this thing wrapped up by the end of the month. I really don't have that much left to do -- I have to finish the sleeves, seam the sweater, and knit the shawl collar. Provided I can put in some serious knitting time this weekend, it just might be doable.
Speaking of this weekend, my trunk show opens at my LYS tomorrow. If you're local, I hope you'll stop by sometime in the next couple of weeks to see it. All of the designs you've seen on the blog already will be featured, but there are also a couple of items in the show that you haven't seen yet that I'm prepping for a fall release.
Good luck with the trunk show! And I've never thought to ask, but why are they called Hurricane knitters? Curious minds...
ReplyDeleteIt's a long story, but it has to do with this character who always used to be there when we were knitting. He always came in carrying a 40 of malt liquor in a brown paper bag and would stroke it lovingly. One night one of us looked in the bag when he wandered off and discovered that the beverage was called Hurricane -- and thus we became the Hurricane Knitters.
