Brrrrr…
I’m glad I plugged ahead with my Noro stripey sweater–it’s been put into good use this weekend.
I made this pattern up, using sweater wizard, and then modifying slightly.  I love the look of Noro with the stripes broken up, so I used two different colorways of Kureyon, and alternated every two rows for the skinny stripes. This worked out really well on the back, and then on the front, I had to unravel balls to get the stripes to match up. The sleeves were a mess. I wanted the two sleeves to match each other, not necessarily the body of the sweater, except for the sleeve cap, which I did want to match the pattern on the body.
The result:
Lots of unraveled Noro.
Overall, I’m happy with the sweater. I need to wet block it, but it’s so damn chilly, I’m postponing that for another week probably.
