I have been knitting, but not at the breakneck pace that I did to finish the Jaeger Poker sweater (of which I have pictures coming soon). I am almost done with a Jaywalker sock in Socks That Rock, about which more later, and I have been working on Rebecca No. 27 pattern 41, the first sweater on the strip of pictures:
It's a polo-neck cotton sweater with a plaited cable up each side of the front, back, and sleeves. Very cute! I'm using Debbie Bliss Cotton Denim Aran in the lighter blue shade, and it's knitting somewhat smaller than the required gauge, so I'm making the larger size.
I have actually frogged back to start over, mostly because I was annoyed at a mistake made in the English translation of the cable. Plaited cables have a natural algorithm: do some cables in one direction, do some rows without cabling, then do a row of cables in the other direction but offset from the starting point of the first row of cables. This pattern is a 10-row pattern, with 2 of the rows as setup rows and then rows 3-10 as the repeat. The pattern erroneously said that the second, offset cable row was row 10, when it should have been row 7, but I was knitting blissfully along without thinking about it, then bammo!
Grrrr. So it's back to square one. But the sweater will be lovely.
