Project: Cambridge Jacket



Cambridge Jacket

16 March 2008, Sunday 12:50 A GMT-08
Almost a year ago, I knit up this sweater for my guy, but only recently did I finally manage to take a picture of him in it.

Adjusting for Row Gauge

11 March 2008, Tuesday 4:14 P GMT-08
As I was knitting the body of the Cambridge Jacket, I noticed that although my stitch gauge matched the pattern, my row gauge was larger. After a little calculating, I realized that my sleeves would end up too long if I didn't make adjustments.

Body Block

The back and fronts of my Cambridge Jacket are complete, attached at the shoulders, and blocking. The only modification I've made so far is to shape the shoulders with short rows in order to work a three-needle bind-off at the shoulder seams.

New Sweater for My Guy

No we don't worry about the curse around here. In fact, I've made my boyfriend a number of handknits, including two sweaters, without any dire results.
