On my travels around the interweb, I discovered the challengingly entitled Three Movies Sweater,<\/a> written in Swedish and English. I loved the style, and the premise, so I took the bait and ordered the wool. Drops Eskimo, for the uninitiated, is a chunky (9mm needle) 100% wool for a very reasonable \u00a31.70 for 50g. This pattern took around 12 x 50g balls to make.<\/p>\n

Although I was thrilled by the outcome, especially for a first-timer, my jumper came out considerably smaller than the one in the blog, unless she’s teeny, and I bigger than I thought \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n

Also, I found there were a few omissions \/ confusing points in the pattern where I just had to wing it.<\/p>\n

In short, I’ve ordered the wool for my next one and it’ll be better!<\/p>\n

One thing I was REALLY pleased with, though, was a bit of an innovation – a risk that paid off. The ribbing at the bottom was too narrow for me, and curled up a lot. I searched the Net for tips on how to pick up and continue in rib, but found none. So I winged it again, and it worked. The join is visible, but not unsightly, and I have a new knitting fix in my arsenal \ud83d\ude42 I tried to photograph it, as you will see below. <\/p>\n

So… A picture story of its creation:<\/p>\n
