Knitting progress.


The current knitting project, Baton Rouge, is coming near its end - the lace border around the front is almost done, and what remains now is to sew the (already blocked) sleeves together and sew them in - and then I'll have a nice new silk jacket.

There were a few tangles at the end (metaphorical ones) - I picked up more stitches than the pattern called for to have sensible spacing between the stitches in the first knit row, then worked k3tog instead of k2tog in the first lace row, after trying with the original setup for a bit and quickly finding that it made the lace too squished together.

The second, bigger, tangle happened about where the picture was taken - there's supposed to be four rows with yarnover holes as per the picture in the pattern. Which will happen if you make row 11 a p2tog, yo row and not, as the pattern also tells you, a p row (there are two listings for r. 11, and guess which one is first in sequence? Right. The purl one, which is the wrong one). So I purled a bit, then found the mistake, tinkered back and did the correct r 11.

Soon now. Sooooon. And once this is finished, I'll get back to the sleeves on Moyen Age!
