Hello everyone;
I'm so glad to have found this group again! I went from dialup to cable.
I know some of you have made the Odd-ball sweater, knit from the top down,
and then each sleeve is divided and then short rows knitted; again short
rows for the bottom two triangles. I've just finished the sleeves.
I am calling it the 'monster' sweater, as it seems to have been taking me
*forever* to knit it, and I've gotten stuck several times along the way.
Just tried it on over my head and it looks really great, but then the needle
holder came off on the bottom and lost some stitches...will pick up later...
Question is: any tips for making this sweater? I would really like to make
another later, as it is a wonderful way to use of all of the odd balls of
yarn that keep accumulating. My sweater is made of all colors of purple,
black, burgandy and then some rows of bright yellow here and there. The
pattern forms a 'V' down the front and back.
Sad thing is, I feel like I will never wear it; I'm in my late 50's, and
become very hot several times throughout the day. It never gets very cold in
Northern California.
Best to all, and thanks for being such a great group!
Merri

I've made that sweater (a pullover) a couple of times. First time, thin
mohair yarn on great big needles; worked out great. I wear the sweater all
the time (in the winter). Second time, short sleeves, cotton sport weight on
medium (6-8--I don't remember) needles, didn't work out so well: the dolman
flaps in the armpits were way to batwing-y; I had to frog it and make the
whole thing smaller. In retrospect, I could have made it smaller still. I'll
try to get a picture up, because it is really more of the oddball persuasion
than the mohair one
