Current Knitting
I’m making great progress on the Tilt Cardigan.
Once I made it past the section where I was doing two different sets of stitch reductions, it’s been a bit easier to knit without intense concentration. Now I only have to pay attention to the front section decreases each round, and I’ve got it mapped out so I can knit relatively easily without much thought.
I may actually finish this garment by May to show it off at the Men’s Spring Knitting Retreat!
Even with the simpler knitting going forward, I stared an even simpler project.
This is just a simple garter stitch stole in two beautiful yarns. I’m in no hurry to finish this. I’ll work on it at a leisurely pace when my eyes are tired.
