It's been a while since I did a sweater in the round (or, for that matter, one in regular old Cascade 220), and I'm rather enjoying it. The first couple of rounds are a little slow going because the stitches really have to be coaxed to move around the needle, but after that it's pretty much smooth sailing.
I think I may take tonight off to ply up some handspun, but this sweater is going to be my go-to project for the next couple of weeks (the shawl has been promoted to lunchtime knitting in order to get it done). I have two days off from work this month that I'd planned to spend at my LYS, so I can see the sweater getting done in no time -- probably just in time for a major midsummer heatwave!
I love the way ribbing looks. And the colours in the yarn are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI always get excited about knitting sweaters when summer starts to roll around. It doesn't make much sense, especially now that I live in the hot and humid South, but I'm always grateful for it once the cold weather hits.
