Carpathian Black Roses
Because I obviously don’t have enough to do already, I started yet another new project, Carpathian Black Roses. This is a sweater for my mom, specifically chosen for/by her.
It’s my first sweater from Norsk Strikkedesign, and so far it’s going well, but we’ll see what happens when I get to the steeks. I changed the pattern a little, eliminating the shaping because that’s how my mom wants it to fit. I also added steek stitches to the front center of the sweater - this is my first time doing steeks and although this yarn is really “sticky,” I am still too paranoid to cut the sweater with only one (ONE!) stitch for allowance on either side, as the pattern calls for.
