The unvarnished truth of my journey with knitting - my triumphs and disasters both. Crazy math and interpretations of patterns, my modifications and whether they worked or not - comments are always welcomed and answered

Ghia sweater ... take 2
Frogged the sweater i started for a friends dog 2 years ago lol .. found another that's not all ribbing .. hope to start today .. gotta do some math cuz her dog is 20 inches round the chest and most patterns are 16-24 .. ugh .. so larger needles than pattern calls for should do the trick .. i hope .. you know I lost the end and had to hunt it down lol

Ahh that's better
I'm way happier with his now .. doesn't look like such a beanie now .. just added one more repeat than the pattern called for .. now will follow the rest of the pattern .. maybe it'll be done today :D

I *DO* like this!
I must say I'm quite pleased with the way this is shaping up .. granted I'm taking some liberties with the pattern .. should be no shock there .. the cable band and the pattern stitch are well suited for each other .. not so sure at the length so I'm at the point where I should be decreasing, but will add another pattern set or two
