If you follow patterns to a t, this sweater, Ursina is written for you. There is a lot of text and all kinds of charts with numbers but they make it possible that you can knit a completely customised sweater without any need for math or hard thinking. Just follow the numbers and you will have an amazing sweater.
It's a little harder for people who wing it. I have never knit a pattern by this designer before and each designer has their own way of presenting things, their own way of writing, and their own way of talking about ease. I read all the notes and I have a feeling I am knitting just the smallest bit too little ease. It will still fit but the question is, will it have the shaping I am looking for. I have a wee bit more to go till it is ready for a try on. We shall see. Still, I made decent progress today.
The stitch markers you can see here mark the newly established center front design detail. There are a few rounds to get to the underam split and once that is knit, I can stop and try it on and see what we have.
I am really enjoying this knit. Really enjoying it. But I keep looking to the side of the footstool and feel like bad gramma. I need to finish my wee Emmetts sweater, or should i say my big boy Emmett's sweater.
One thing at a time? Oh heck no. All the things, all the time.
