This Lady Knits

Pattern:  Wonderful Wallaby by Carol Anderson, of Cottage Creations

Yarn:  Berocco Comfort 2 skeins

Needles: US 4 & 6 Addi Turbos

Modifications: Seed stitch for the boarders of the pocket and around the planket and hood.  I also went down 2 needles sizes from the recommended 6 & 8 to make this a smaller sweater than the smallest size (2) in the pattern.

Thoughts:  This is a fun quick knit.  The yarn was simply wonderful to work with and the pooling was perfect for this size of sweater.  The pattern is knit in the round from the bottom up, no seaming as it’s a raglan construction, even the sleeves were done in the round.  It actually took me about a week and a half to complete this one while still working on my other projects.

OTN:  I cast on the SotS II last night, can’t finish one without starting another now can I.  On the EDC (Everyday Cardigan) I’m done with the back and right front and about 1/3 the way up the left front, I’m not sure where in the ranks I am on this KAL, I do know that one sweater has already been completed.  Lima, is half way up the back.  Shedir, well I’ve fallen way behind the front runners in this KAL, I’m only through the 1st repeat and there are quite a few in that KAL that have finished already.   I need to focus on the Earl Grey socks DH’s B-day is just around the corner, but I so want to finish the EDC before Madrona.  Luckily for me, Madrona is about 2 weeks after DH’s B-day.
