Are you looking for a spring/summer/fall sweater? Take a look at Sabela.
Sabela is worked seamlessly in rounds from the top down. First some short rows are worked back and forth to shape the neck. The yoke is shaped by using a modified version of the contiguous set-in sleeves method developed by Susie Myers. When the yoke shaping is complete, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold and underarm stitches are cast on. The body is then worked in rounds to the hem. The sleeve stitches are then picked up again to work them in rounds top down to the cuffs (instructions for both short and long sleeves are provided). Neck is left unfinished.
This pattern from Isabell Kraemer can be purchased on Ravelry. The sweater is knit in fingering weight yarn. You can use cotton or wool. Knitters on Ravelry used Le Petit Lambswool, Crazy Zauberball, Malabrigo Sock, Hedgehog Sock and Skinny Singles. There are so many more options - here are all the yarns that would work. Someone used Rowan Kidsilk Haze held double strand.
Dad is progressing. He is starting to talk more and sometimes throws a full sentence at us. We are taking his newspaper to him and I think he is reading it. When we walk the halls he reads the signs that are hanging. Until now he has been eating all meals in his room. Today they reopened the dining room so he goes for lunch and dinner. I was there at lunch time and took him. I had him find his name tag on the table and he recognized his name. He sat down and introduced himself to the lady across the table. Baby steps but we’re going in the right direction.
I’m going to sign off now and wish everyone a good evening. There hasn’t been much knitting. I’m going to try and do a bit tonight.
