I’ve just realized that the numbers of stitches for around the torso that the pattern gives absolutely do not add up, which I wouldn’t care except I’m supposed to decrease until I get to a certain number of stitches and I absolutely don’t trust that number now—do I go with the relative math and decrease 10 times, or double that to get to the stated number of stitches? Just gonna have to eyeball it I guess, which is daunting in my first knit sweater (and second sweater ever)

The pattern calls for 4 inches of ribbing, but I have 3 now and it seems more than sufficient? However, the sweater is still a couple of inches shorter than I would like, so I’m going to frog it back to the main body and make that longer before restarting the ribbing. It’s already 2 inches longer than the pattern called for, all the numbers in this pattern are weird. *sigh* #WIPWednesday

At least this gives me a chance to fix the ribbing, maybe? The first purl stitch in my 2x2 ribbing keeps coming out kind of stretched out, it’s not so bad from the front but it looks weird and wobbly from the back—not too much of a problem for a sweater, but I still want to figure out how to fix it. A search suggests I may have a difference in tension between the knit and purl stitches? I don’t know what to do about it though. #knitting

It’s finally long enough, time for sleeves. The rounds on the sleeves go so much faster!

@haloedrain it looks great
