Even with customers in the store today I did find some time to knit. I finished the back and one sleeve of Kilcar. (After publishing and re-reading my post it looks like I knit the whole back and sleeve today. Both had been started and I just had to add some rows to finish. I knit fast but not that fast!!) This is the sleeve that was taken inside the store. The picture taken outside is a close up of the back. It really shows the stitch definition but the colour is way off.
I like knitting with the yarn (Debbie Bliss Donegal Chunky Tweed). I have a small problem with the pattern though. Debbie says to knit 80 rows on the back before the armhole shaping. Luckily I looked at the schematic because I was at least 3" short to what the measurement should be. I am afraid that people knitting this jacket will follow her pattern and be disappointed when done because it is too short. I would rather the pattern said to knit to ___".
