I’m just going to end up knitting another one, aren’t I…

My Ravelry notes for Pizza John:

“Cast on 56, chart is 34 stitches wide”

That’s it. No gauge. No measurements. Just the cast on

So mad at past me 🧶

I think I could handle the steeking better than I could handle tracking a chart that big

I love the cable detail on the raglan!

Yarn is Berroco Vintage DK in Snow Day and Super Glo fibers hand dyed in the colorway Mermaid Caves.

The Super Glo is hand dyed in Scottsdale and I picked it up when I was on a family vacation in Arizona. Making matching sweaters for me and my cousin’s baby

The first one started as Sharon’s Glamping Blanket by Casapinka which is… an odd pattern, so half way through I took a stitch dictionary out of the library and improvised

For the second one I just cast on 100, left 2 border stockinette stitches on each side, and made it up along the way

None of them are! Two cousins and three friends. At least I’ve found / created a pattern that’s fun

I swear every time I’ve been to the yarn store in the last few months I’ve been getting something for a baby gift. Single handed keeping Jody Long in business.

They’re also so important for blocking and knowing how something will fit! I’m really particular about armhole depth - I hate it when that’s too high - and it’s so hard to adjust for fit without ripping back without the full schematic.

Yes, if I’m on gauge the number of rows should work out fine, but what if I want to double check? What if my gauge changed? (It did)

It’s a kids sweater for my niece, I don’t really have her here to check the length
