I spent most of Saturday afternoon knitting on the round neck cardigan project for Nihon Vogue. We have class this coming weekend April 12-13 and I was making fairly good progress but ran into an obstacle... We are required to complete Japanese Short Rows for the shoulder sloping on front and back garment pieces and I haven't figured out how to do short rows without disrupting the double moss stitch pattern. Since a good portion of what will be short rowed is over the cable pattern perhaps I shouldn't be agonizing over it as much as I have been. It is understandable why most textured or aran sweaters have straight shoulders instead of sloped shoulder seams. For the round neck cardigan homework I still need to complete the neck shaping, short rows on front and back, ribbing on all 3 pieces and the neck band. I started the sleeves and they are each about 1/4 done but I am not going to push to finish those before class since they are not a pre-requisite to do the button band which we will be doing in class. The yarn for the cardigan is my favorite Cascade 220 worsted in color Amethyst Heather. Purple is my favorite color and this yarn is especially pretty - it has blue and pink flecks in it.
