The knitting for the Vine Yoke cardigan is going well.
I've knitted the right front and the right sleeve. It's looking a bit wide / flared but I'm leaving it as is. I can't face frogging 60 odd rows to do some short rowing, I'll stick to the flared sleeves! Wider than the front! I'll probably wear this with longer sleeves underneath.
I found that the short rows which were worked on the right front just before knitting the side rows were very loose, so much so that I've sewn them up! I just couldn't bear looking at them. I tried wrapping them but that just made a mess. Dream in Color is very stretchy, any opportunity and the stitches grow. I had to tuck the tops of the stretched stitches over and sew them down too.
I'm also hoping the yoke flattens out a bit! But I'm not too fussed about a little bit of ruffling; it adds a bit of texture and interest to the garment. So far so good, it's a fun knit! My only gripe is the blue hands - the dye is dropping off the yarn! I did a quick ravelry search and the consensus seems to be that this is extra dye and after washing I should be OK.
