I like this sweater from Isabel Kraemer called Ooh la la (purchased on Ravelry). 
It happened. We all knew it would. I cast on Jaunty (pattern purchased on Ravelry) in Dyed in the Wool. The yarn was already wound at home for something else so I pulled it out and started. I’m using 3.75mm needles because they were in the bag with the yarn. The pattern is well written and fairly mindless. I am keeping track of the rows right now to make sure I do increases on the correct row. Once I get a bit further (and get over the cold I have) I will be able to continue knitting and know which row is the increase row.
Now time for the Jays. I hope tonight goes better because things aren’t looking good right now.
Ooh la la is worked seamlessly from the top down. The back is worked in plain Stockinette stitch while the front features a lace pattern panel at the center. Knitting starts with the cast on of the shoulders for the back. Once the short row shaped shoulder slope is done, the back is worked flat to underarm. Shoulder stitches are picked up to work the front to the same length. At underarm both front and back are joined to work the body top down in rounds to the bottom hem. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the arm openings to work the sleeves (short or long) top down in rounds. Neck finishing is worked last.
