the blue blog archives: peek

Here's one half of the peek-a-boo front panel of the pop sweater. This pattern is so fun to make! These little panels are short rowed so they can have such lovely curves. I did have both panels done, but after finishing the second one I realized that they didn't match. I'd actually read the directions for the short-rowing incorrectly the first time - which is strange since the directions for the second part were to knit as for first part only in reverse. Heh, heh. I suppose that the "reverse" thing had me paying more attention and that got me to finally follow the directions. Oh well, no matter, it's only about 30 rows. I've already ripped and restarted, so you should be seeing a whole peek-a-boo this week!

What a fun sweater to make! I love funky construction. Can you remind us (ok, remind *me*) what magazine the "pop sweater" is from? Thanks!

Alison, never mind, I figured it out - it's from Phildar Tendances Autumn 04. The one I just got! I just might have to make me that there sweater!

Now, Froggy, I'll only have finished peek-a-boo panels - I'm nowhere near having finished the whole pop sweater! There's still the little matter of the front torso section and the sleeves.

Love the color and style of the sweater! The yarn color looks very similar to your secret project that you were working on Germany -- could it be the same yarn?
