Shimmer 5 Sweater Re-incarnation
John appreciated all the nice comments you left about him and the sweater. It went to work today, and aside from it being a little warmer today than he would have liked, it was a pretty good experience. Score one for the knitting biologist.
A New Beginning for My Shimmer 5
Now that John has his sweater, I can feel good about getting my recycled and relaxed Shimmer 5 into a new garment. The pattern for Cerys is from the Colinette Wayfarer book. Cerys is a bit shorter than Margot and has deeper armholes, but has very similar dimensions otherwise.
I'm looking forward to a quick knit and my first zipper experience. And hopefully having a good final result for my Shimmer 5.
My little niece is called Cerys, so I'll watch this project with interest. It's a gorgeous colour.
OOh beautiful colors - It reminds me of Monet.
Oooh, I think this is gonna be a keeper! :-)
First zipper project - me too! And I'm a little petrified...since you're a faster knitter than me, I will be looking forward to all your sage advice!
Zipper advice: sew it in by hand so you don't get a wavy zipper. Or have a seamstress do it. Unless you're as talented with the sewing machine as you are with knitting needles.
After many bad zipper experiences (I am not talented with the sewing machine) I decided hand sewing works best.
Can't wait to see it.
