Bahhhhhhd Directions!

My little cousin, Zak, sings "Bah Bah black sheep, hanenenei wool?"


Here's my progress on the sheep sweater. I can't say I love it. It may just be me, but the pattern doesn't make any sense!!! I looked for other knitter's working on the sweater on Ravelry, and they all had written things like "The pattern makes so much sense" and "She doesn't make you guess!" So...I guess it is just me. Anyway, the body is about 25 stitches too short which may not make a big difference- I don't know. I abandoned the pattern many rows ago. It my be frogged quite soon. But things do look better once you've blocked them, don't they? Hmmm...

It looks pretty good to me, but what do I know : )

Looks good to me. Do you mean the yoke is too short?

Hey -- the Sheep Yoke Cardigan is my pattern. If you haven't knit from a chart before I can imagine that it might be a little tough to figure out what's going on, especially with the black "no stitch" spaces. Once you get used to working from a chart, though, it really is pretty easy, and it lets you see what the pattern will look like before (and as) you knit it. Good luck with your version -- it's looking fine to me, but you may want to make it a little shorter than the pattern specifies, because if you're missing 25 yoke stitches you're basically just knitting a smaller size sweater.
