I've been working on this sweater since late March. It has little hearts on it! The pattern calls for it to be made in parts, so pictured below are the front (with 4 hearts) and the back (2 hearts). Then I will make the arms and sew them all together.
This fateful day I was working on the front and it said to "work both sides of the neck at the same time, using separate yarn for each side." There were some other factors that were confusing and was also mixed with the fact that it was like 2 am didn't help. I was freaking out because I thought it wanted the front and the back to be knit at the same time. And that did NOT make sense! Also, there were things later on in the pattern that did not go with it. Anyway, I stressed out for a very long time. I scattered things across the floor: do I add circular needles? Do I need to take the placeholders off of the back side? Anyway, after a time of freaking out on the floor and reading and re-reading, I went to bed. THEN the next day I preceded to do the same thing. BUT then I figured it out. It was about making sure the two sides of the neck are the same length because you slip the middle parts of the neck on a stitch holder and each side has a different ball of yarn. Anyway, so now I'm working on the arms using this technique! Both of the arms need to look identical, so in order to make sure that is true I am knitting them at the same time with different balls of yarn. You can see this in the last photo. Hooray!
Hey, so it's quarantine time! So, knitting is a way dive deep into a project to avoid thinking too much about quarantine. So fun! Bye!
