Amanda Knits

I got some wild idea that I should knit a sweater for my engagement photo session, set for the 16th (was supposed to be this weekend). I knit a pattern I've owned for years, Heather, in Elann's Baby Silk yarn.

I started the sweater Saturday, January 24th and finished it Saturday, February 6th. This is a personal record, since it's knit on size 3 needles at 7 spi and 10 rpi!

Yarn and beads (found at Michael's), came to under $40.

I made the garter st borders deeper, and the I-cord narrower. If anyone else wants to knit this I would say check the math for your size and make sure the sleeve is wide enough. The sleeves on this are VERY narrow. Also, I think the sleeve length is a little short, but that's OK.

When I move, the ridges ride up. Think I might SLIGHTLY overblock this yarn to account for that. If I had a smaller cup, that might not be a problem.

I just knit a sweater on US 3s (3.25 mm) using Elann's Baby Silk yarn in 15 days flat. A women's sweater (42"), 7 sts and 10 rows per inch, and I did it all in 15 days inclusive.

Also found an unpublished errata in my size, and some errata in another size, too.
