JUST STARTING

Hi everybody,

This is my first post and a long time I wanted to but no time. Sorry for my English, I am French and there are several years that I did not practise...
I have lots of projects to share, lots in mind and several already finished.!I will show you them as soon as I can.

To start I get to share with you my first cable pullover of last winter. We have moved last summer in a colder region and a colder house too and I do appreciate now knitting and wearing warm cardi and pullovers!
This one is a pullover from Phildar of last winter issue 480.
I really enjoyed the cable work. It's an easy one you can easily do while watching the TV...


The most difficult part was in fact the sewing. The chest band is sewn to the body before the collar is knitted. Like many knitters I have sewing but this project was impossible to modify!
I have knitted the collar with a circular needle instead of sewing it when finished as the instructions mention. Most of French mags don't use circular needles.

I don't know the yarn used by Phildar. It usually contains too much synthetic fibers for me! I have chosen a great yarn from my stash (50% alpaca, 50% merino).













I am adding several pictures of what is either finished or ongoing.... Talk to you soon and have a great week !
