Stockinette is Fast
Aug. 25th, 2024 10:20 amI finished knitting the front of the red shell to go with the cable and ladder cardigan. It was 44 rows of 1x1 rib and the rest in stockinette. Plain knitting, as they called it in the 19th century, is so much faster than patterns. I intend to cast on the back today.
The front probably took very close to one ball of yarn. If that be the case, the back should take the same, and I'll have most of a ball left for sleeves. I will finish this sweater with the yarn I have, even if I have to shorten the sleeves or leave them off altogether.
