I’ve finished the body for “Underwood”<\/a>, and I couldn’t be happier.\u00a0 The length is 3 in. too long, according to the pattern for my size.\u00a0 This means that when the sweater shrinks 3 inches in blocking, it should fit perfectly.\u00a0 I love this yarn for the sweater, and the color.\u00a0 The reason I am knitting the pattern is to test Elizabeth Doherty’s method for knitting a set in sleeve from the top down, and it is very interesting.\u00a0 The pick up ratio is generally to pick up a stitch in 75% of the rows (I cover this, in my Master Gauge class).\u00a0 She throws this out the window.\u00a0 I picked up 100% of the sts at the top of the sleeve, 50% down the sides, and 25% at the bottom of the sleeve.\u00a0 Let me tell you, it is very hard to go against long-time habit, but I was totally here for it!\u00a0 In my world, this is Risky Business, and a wild adventure.\u00a0 Some would say that I need to get a life!\u00a0 Really, though, it’s not that risky.\u00a0 The worst thing that could happen is that it doesn’t work, and you rip it out and start again.<\/p>\n

However, of course it worked. Kudos to Doherty, who is obviously a genius. Even unblocked, the sleeve looks great.\u00a0 I haven’t tried it on, yet, but I don’t really need to.\u00a0 This looks like the sleeve cap of my dreams.<\/p>\n

I’m looking forward to finishing both sleeves, blocking the sweater, and trying it on!\u00a0 This has been a good exercise in breaking the rules, trusting the gauge swatch and the math.\u00a0 Also, discovering an amazing designer.\u00a0 I may knit every pattern in this e-book<\/a>, they all look terrific.\u00a0 I know that some of you won’t believe it all works until you see the blocked, completed sweater.\u00a0 Don’t worry, I will post pictures of myself modeling it!<\/p>\n

\"unblocked
The unblocked body measures 25″ long, 3 inches longer than called for in the pattern for my size. This means that when blocked, and shrinks 3 inches, the sweater will be the correct length.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
