She wants to keep on knitting on the Adult Surprise Jacket. That's what everyone on Ravelry is calling it so I guess I can too. ASJ is better than ASS, hmmm? I finally hit the end of the increases on mine and did another gauge check, since this is where you put 3 inches worth of stitches onto holders. Yikes! I thought I'd be getting 5 stitches to the inch and I'm getting much more like 4.25. That means I will have a bigger sweater than I intended. Fortunately it's intended to be a throw-over-everything cardigan, not a fitted shapely thing. I don't know how I got such a different gauge since I did a fairly good sized swatch - but I've been exceedingly relaxed knitting this and of course, it's made up of 10 or more different yarns.  Here's a schematic of what I've done (in black) and what is left to do (in red). Not bad for a garter stitch project. I'm so pleased with how its turned out and how much fun it was to knit I might just knit another right away. I'm intrigued with how the mitered shaping ends just about at the waistline - but of course it's such a boxy shape it would be very loose about the body at the bottom. But I think you could make a really cute bomber jaket shape by putting a deep ribbed hem and cuffs and a collar on.  It all depends on how the shoulders look on me. If it's not too hulking - well - I have just the yarn to try this out on. Ah there - the day is pushing me into action. Happy Friday to you all. We had the most splendiferous anniversary yesterday. Can't wait till next year. posted by Bess | 6:11 AM |
