I actually have progress you can see on my Chloe sweater. The collar is done!
I elected to knit the collar before the sleeves. I did the three-needle bind-off for the shoulder seams and picked up the stitches around the neck. It’s a very deep collar and you increase two stitches at the center back of it every other row, so it was a lot of knitting. I finished it last night.
Then I picked up stitches along one side for a sleeve.
I am making my sleeves bigger than the pattern directs. As written, the sleeves are rather tight-fitting, but for me, that defeats the purpose of a big loose comfy sweater. So my sleeves will be nice and loose. I am knitting mine in stockinette stitch instead of reverse stockinette stitch as directed. I am not crazy about how reverse stockinette looks in this yarn.
As you can see, this project is no longer very portable!
Meanwhile, Loki has perfected the art of relaxation!
I just love the many positions that Loki can assume to be comfortable.
Your sweater is gorgeous! I like comfy too so kniting the sleeves bigger will be better.
Love the sweater!
Beautiful knitting! I love Loki’s pose. My Faith kitty lolls about like that.
Loki is the ‘cirque du soleil’ of kitties!
Lovely sweater! Looks warm and cozy.

It will be beautiful, as always. How on earth can Loki sleep like that? 🙂
Chloe is looking great! Terrific color, sensible mods. I sure do wish I could sleep like a cat. You know they become boneless while sleeping……
