Guernsey Pullover Finished!
Well, my version of Meg Swansen's "Guernsey Pullover" from Wool Gathering #76 is finally finshed! This was a fun project too. At 5 stitches per inch, the sweater grew rapidly. This was my knitting project while I had the helm watch at night during our last couple of passages. A good project for knitting in the cockpit at night needs to be in light colored yarn at a rather large gauge so I can SEE what I am doing.The only adjusting I did was that I added a simple 2 rounds of purl stitches to the neck edge. I thought this not only gives the neck a more polished look, but
also blends in with the other reverse stockinette pattern separation stripes.The yarn is a minimally processed worsted weight wool from Cottage Craft in a lavender heathered color called Fundy Fog.
These gansey style sweaters are so much fun to knit. I've already pulled out my cedar green Frangipani wool for another sweater. This next one will be my own design - somet
hing I've been noodling around in my head for a while now.
