Stick ‘Em Up!
My brother’s sweater is in need of some discipline. Some tough love, if you will. It’s managing this sneaky little trick whereby I knit and knit and knit and decrease and decrease and decrease and the neck never gets any narrower. It looks narrow here only because I bunched it onto a 24″ circ so I could use the 32″ for the capelet.
The capelet isn’t terribly photogenic yet. I swear it’s a garment, not a tree stump or a paper mache model of a volcano. Really.
It just isn’t all that happy being off the needles and the edges are curling in protest. It’s going back on the needles tonight. It won’t be growing any, though. I’m going to keep plugging away at my brother’s sweater until it relents and lets me finish it.
Good luck on getting that neck narrowed out! You’ll get there.
(I need to knit a capelet, too. So appropriate for this morning fog we’re getting :-))

The picture cracks me up. That’s one scared lookin’ sweater. You go show it who’s boss now!

Oh you are SO close to being finished with the brother-sweater…you appear to be at the point where, in my knitting, time seems to stop. But hang in there, it will eventually begin to decrease and your brother is going to be so pleased! Lucky guy!
Woofs to Diego.

You have to show your bro that picture – I don’t think he’ll ever put it on without thinking of it being held up at gun-point like that.

I had to track way back down your page to find out if the capelet was to attach on to the sweater for your brother, or for a seperate project. I kept picturing a sweater, with cape attached. I kind of like the idea actaully, but I wasn’t sure it was a brother sort of sweater I was picturing. 🙂 I’ve got to get more blog reading time. I’ve missed a lot!
