This mass of yarn, needles, marker, and cat ... will hopefully one day be this ...
Minus the dorky guy with the little head, of course.
I've got the charts sorted out, complicated mess that they are, and I've decided it will be best for me if I knit both front and back at the same time. There are three cable charts plus the stuff in between, and I fear that if I do just one side at a time ... I'll triumphantly finish the front side, then it'll be like SSS. Crap, I gotta do the same thing ALL OVER again! So I'm knitting both front and back at the same time (on different needles, not altering the pattern to be in the round). It's easily the most complicated thing I've knitted. Even the big Susie Hoody I knit for myself wasn't too hard; it only had the cable around the edge, hood, and sleeve ends. This whole sweater is cables and twists. I'm in something of a lull, otherwise. Just a few rows here and there on the big Kool-aid afghan.
Happy Fiber Arts Friday!
It's going to be gorgeous! Those cables and twists seem super intimidating.
ReplyDeleteI like your colour choice. And you are right, that man has an oddly tiny head
ReplyDeleteThat guy really does have a tiny head *lsughs*
ReplyDeleteGood luck with it - it looks like it'll be an amazing sweater when it is done!
Just how are you going to knit the car into it? Cat hair?
ReplyDeleteYou are brave and ambitious to take on so many cables, but its going to be gorgeous! Best of luck :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you really like to challenge yourself! It's a great looking sweater, I know yours will be gorgeous as always!
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha, I had to laugh about the guy with the small head. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're going to do great! Also, now I want to find this hoodie you're talking about. I'm off to stalk you on Ravelry; hopefully that's not super duper creepy, ha ha ha.
That sweater is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI have huge admiration for you doing both sides at once. Definately looking forward to how this goes.
This sweater looks like a lot of fun to make, wish I'm working on it or something similar. I need to find a big and complicated project for the winter. You chose a very nice color and very nice yarn.
ReplyDeleteI love cables and twists! I think your very brave and clever knitting both sides at once, I would never manage that, I would end up with a bit of everything on each side! *laughs*! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThat's going to be nice! Love cables.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a challenge! It's going to be awesome.
ReplyDeleteHappy Fiber Arts Friday!!
Looking forward to watching your progress.
ReplyDeleteHi! That is going to be wonderful pullover! I love that pattern and have made some 'fisherman's' pullovers! Thank you for an inspiration - could make one again!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit and comment!

It does sound complicated. Overwhelming actually. You are a brave woman!
ReplyDeleteI thought at first you might know the guy in the picture. But then laughed at your comment about him!! I noted that you have a button for Goodreads. I clicked on it and discovered an amazing site! I wanted to add you as a friend. I have been uploading all the books I have read since 1996! It is wonderful! Thanks for introducing me to a great site.
It will be lovely, but it all looks soooooo complicated to me. and I don't think he's THAT dorky!
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome so far... definitely going to be a cool workup. I'm glad yours won't have the finished dorky head guy. :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great cozy sweater! Can't wait to see it finished.
