Here is the status of my Lace Cable Kimono. In this picture only one sleeve is done, but right now both sleeves are finished. So all the is left is to sew the side seams, and pick up and knit the band. The pattern has you pick up on the right side up to the bust shaping then knit the band and tie. Do the same for the left side, then pick up and knit the band for the front and back.
Last week we had to fly to IN. for a funeral. I needed a project that was easy to do and could be picked up and put down quickly. I picked Stripe up the Band, by Candace Eisner Strick. My friend Vivian made this and commented on how it's just rows and rows of garter. It bored her sometimes because there was nothing going on. PERFECT!
Here is the sweater. On the upper part of the sweater, there is a definite right and wrong side but I can't decided which side I like better. The first picture is of the wrong side the other is the right side. I don't have to decided until I sew the shoulder seams. I'm thinking of have the sweater with the right side out and the sleeves with the wrong side out.
Oh and I get extra points on this sweater, because I shopped by stash AND swatched several yarns until I found a combination I liked!
Take a look at Vivian's sweater.
