This is the last of my finish it off in February projects. I'm not sure I will actually finish finish in February, but at least I have started it.
That's not the cast off I'm doing there, that's the cast ON. I have already knitted up this jumper once using my brilliant and genius method of knitting so you don't have to sew the seams up (modest aren't I?). The only problem is that since then I joined my local cycling club and have lost so much weight from all the cycling that when I put the jumper on it threatens to just slide straight off.
So I am left with two options, donate the jumper to a charity shop or reknit it. Hmm, I don't think the first one was an option really. According to the knitting powers that be you are supposed to unravel a sweater and wash the yarn before you reknit it. Knitting rules are not always something I stick to, mainly because most of them seem to be there to make you look stupid. The yarn is really, really hairy and catches and sticks every few stitches, it was a right pain to put together to start with so I am taking an extreme option with this one and knitting one jumper straight from the previous one.
I'll probably end up in some sort of knitting hell for committing cardinal sins against knitting for my troubles - I can see it now a life-time of beige cardigans!
