Patio pictures are back! Now if only I could take a self-timerpicture where I don't look vaguely pissed off.
I believe the gods were appeased with my penance of the sewing-on of forty-two buttons:
I think the button-sewing took longer than the sweater-knitting.Yarn: Previously cursed Drops Alaska (colour #51 - dark olive)
Buttons: Vintage wooden things
Needles: 5 & 5.5mm addis
Notes/mods: Knit an XL size with finer gauge - a total gamble and it worked - whee!
This sweater's a winner except for the odd bunching I'm getting in the back. It's not quite clear in this picture, but I get a bit of a hunchback thing going on above the waist shaping. According to Ravelry I am not alone in this issue. If I were to knit it again I would definitely put the waist shaping at the sides. (Why are they at the back anyway? And how did other people avoid the hunch-back? Do I have an abnormal back?) I blocked it twice to try to remedy the situation but it's still a little poufy. I'd just wear it backwards if the neckline didn't dip in the front to give it away. I guess I'll have to learn to live with it. Or grow a hump... or back-breasts? Ew!
