New Sweater (plans)!

Posted by Amber on February 2, 2007

Shawl Collar Jacket

FOUR stitches per inch. Four! You know what gets 4st/in? Kathmandu Aran Tweed. Do you know how much Kathmandu is in my living room? 1248 yards. Do you know how much I need for this sweater? 975-1050 yards (there’s some math to be done).

This is going to be the best replacement for my polartec sweatshirt EVER!

    Sounds like a plan! What color? My raglan sweater is in Kathmandu DK Tweed, although unfortunately its not 4 sts/in!

    Excellent! I’m starting to appreciate the joys of knitting with something thicker than a worsted weight from a non knitting point of view. I’m sure once I’m back and knitting, I will appreciate it even more! Can’t wait to see the sweater. Is this going to be February’s sweater?
