Mo-cha Latte Front Begins

Bulls Eye Shaping

Not so much knitting tonight because a good friend from Denmark arrived today and I spent the evening talking to him. But I did make some progress. I'm really fascinated by shaping right now. Mostly because of the felting thing. Bags lend themselves to all sorts of novel shapes. The idea of knitting a circlular piece intrigues me.

In this sweater, you leave a space for the circle and then pick up stitches and knit inward. What you see here is the shaping for the base of the circle. Each side is knit from a different skein of yarn. I made no attempt to match the colors. I like the contrasts as well as the blending.

This is knitting very fast. I can definitely see the front of this sweater getting finished over the weekend. I just love things that come together quickly!
