I took the afternoon to make some inches on the little Kauni cowl. Since this is, in essence, a swatch, I changed needle sizes. I was thinking about knitting an entire sweater on 3.5 mm needles and, honestly, I just could not face it. Small needles and garment for a generously sized body means billions of stitches. I usually give up long before I should and forever wish I had made the sweater just a smidgen longer.
I thought about going up to 3.75 mm needles, but what the heck, going up to 4 mm felt even better. 4 mm needles it is.
It looks great. Remember, this is pre blocking and washing so the yarn will bloom and will be exactly what I am looking for.
I can do a sweater on 4 mm needles easily. So it's going to be a busy day. I have to do some cleaning because family is coming for supper and if I am lucky I will get to see my littlest boys. But first, coffee and some knitting.
