This is my 2nd knitting project for the summer, St. James<\/a> by Tonya Wagner at MetaPostModern Knitting. It’s a really lovely fit that reminds me of vintage sweaters from the 60s. Plus I just had to knit it because I love anything with a bow.<\/p>\n

I used Cascade 220 Wool in color Summer Sky<\/i>, purchased at Webs\/Yarn.com<\/a> when they had their Anniversary sale back in April. It’s a very versatile yarn that knits up nicely and comes in so many delicious colors. I only find it slightly itchy but I’m sure I’ll get over it once Fall comes around and I’ll look super cute in this sweater, haha.<\/p>\n

I don’t like to pick up stitches, so I used the tip on Ravelry and cast-on the whole thing at once, using size 7 needles for the tie, then after an inch of seed stitch, bind off until there’s enough for the neck and knitted down from there on sz 8s. It’s a raglan-style top so no seaming is required, yay! I also changed the row count for the waist-shaping decreases in the side seams because I’m not a very curvy gal – instead of every 4 rows, I did a more gradual decrease at every 5 rows and did one less decrease. I followed the instructions for the hip increases.<\/p>\n

I’m really happy with how it turned out – it was a good project to sit in front of the telly with and a pretty fast knit. I only used 2.5 skeins of the Cascade 220. This project was great, I want to make a few more.<\/p>\n

Such a pretty and classy design!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
