I’m on a roll! A finishing roll!
\nI finished my Grapevine, hip hooray!

\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nI like it, but I don’t love it.
\nSpecs:
\nPattern: Grapevine<\/a> by Heidi Kirrmaier
\nSize: Medium
\nYarn: Rowan Felted Tweed<\/a> in Watery, bought from work. (Calico & Ivy<\/a>, Balmain) 5 Balls
\nNeedles: 3.5mm Knitpicks circs.
\nMods: None. Knit to the pattern.
\nI knit the pattern as written, but when I finished the third ball while working on the body, I started on the sleeves with the final two balls. Once I’d finished the sleeves, I started on the body again with the last 3\/4 of a ball, and just knit until I ran out of yarn.
\nIt’s a little too big. I could have gone down a pattern size in the body, and I probably should have gone down a needle size, too. There’s a mishap in the sleeves, I worked them on two circs, and it was only after the fact that I realised I’d used one 3.25mm and one 3.5mm. I’m too lazy to rip it out though!

\nMy knitting just keeps getting looser. I used a 3.5mm, but it was still a little off, I probably should have used a 3.25mm needle. I’ve just started a new knit in Spud & Chloe sweater, a worsted weight, and I’m using 3.75mm needles to get gauge.
\nWhat you can’t see it the pictures is that it is a little loose in the body – my hand is behind my back, holding the fabric a bit!
\nBut it’s not horrendous, I’m just fussy. I’ll definitely wear it!

\nI’ve already started the next knit – a top down raglan in Spud & Chloe. But there’s a baby cardi with intarsia teddies calling to me, and a gorgeous top for Em<\/a> from the Kim Hargreaves book!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
