updates all around – The Shawl Geometry Books & my Banaue Breeze sweater

Each Wednesday, I post a snapshot of the projects I’m working on, and where my brain is at.

I dove back into my Banaue Breeze this week. I had originally intended to weave in the ends, and then block it and have it finished.

But as I was looking over my sweater I didn’t love the finishing that the pattern had you do. The pattern called for picking up, knitting a handful of rows, and then working a stretchy bind off.

I decided I’d prefer my sweater if I picked up, knit fewer rows than called for, and worked an i-cord bind off. I’ve used an i-cord bind off on most of the necklines on most of my other sweaters, and have always loved the results.

So, I ripped out my bind off, ripped out a couple rows of knitting, and worked an i-cord bind off – which I’m liking much more. Now all that’s left is (again) to weave in the ends, wash and block it (and photograph it, of course).
