Allison Bolero Sweater
Now Playing: Finally Done!
I have knitted the Allison Bolero Sweater. I used Yarn Bee yarn, Icelandic Jewels, the color dark citrine. The pattern is from http://www.dailyknitter.com/allison.html. I felt like I have knit this entire sweater twice. When I was knitting the back of the sweater, the pattern said to CO 7 stitches. I thought that meant to cast on 7 stitches so I did that. It looked weird to me, but I did it any way. Well it turns out, that in this case CO meant to cast off 7 stitches, so I had to frog the back of the sweater and re knit it. Then I knit the left side of the sweater. It looked OK until I knit the right side of the sweater, and found out that the two sides did not match. So I had frog the left side of the sweater and re knit that. After I got all of the pieces of the sweater knit. I had to sew the sweater together. I got the first sleeve sewn in very nicely, I messed up on the second sleeve, and had to take it out and re sew the second sleeve. But even after all of my trials with this sweater I love it. It is not blocked yet in this picture. I am blocking it right now. Can't wait to wear it!!
