I'm...I almost thought the afghan was finished! I'm fascinated by the way that yarn changes colors!<br /><br />Sometimes I'm a bit of a maverick! After I discovered Continental knitting, which goes much faster for me than 'British/American', I stopped doing swatches. (Sshh, don't tell anyone!) Somehow even though my swatch was correct, when I put on the number of stitches required for the sweater, sometimes the gauge got out of whack after knitting a few inches. If so, I would just start the sweater over. I always used a sweater from my closet to get my measurements.<br /><br />I'm wondering how much shaping you'll have to do. These days sweater construction isn't as complicated as it used to be. I'll be interested in seeing your pattern! Pullovers are easier than cardigans! <br /> <br /><br />Kathy Niklewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471658272689112787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8857704024517273961.post-4266239757316691822018-10-10T08:39:24.350-05:002018-10-10T08:39:24.350-05:00Love the Afghan great array of colours.
