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<p>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&#8217;s teeny, and I bigger than I thought \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n<p>Also, I found there were a few omissions \/ confusing points in the pattern where I just had to wing it.<\/p>\n<p>In short, I&#8217;ve ordered the wool for my next one and it&#8217;ll be better!<\/p>\n<p>One thing I was REALLY pleased with, though, was a bit of an innovation &#8211; 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<p>So&#8230; A picture story of its creation:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/aliceinknittingland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/20140115-230603.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/aliceinknittingland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/20140115-230603.jpg\" alt=\"20140115-230603.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/aliceinknittingland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/20140115-230617.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/aliceinknittingland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/20140115-230617.jpg\" alt=\"20140115-230617.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/aliceinknittingland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/20140115-230635.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/aliceinknittingland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/20140115-230635.jpg\" alt=\"20140115-230635.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/aliceinknittingland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/20140115-230653.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/aliceinknittingland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/20140115-230653.jpg\" alt=\"20140115-230653.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/aliceinknittingland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/20140115-230707.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/aliceinknittingland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/20140115-230707.jpg\" alt=\"20140115-230707.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/aliceinknittingland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/20140115-230726.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/aliceinknittingland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/20140115-230726.jpg\" alt=\"20140115-230726.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/aliceinknittingland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/20140115-230739.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/aliceinknittingland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/20140115-230739.jpg\" alt=\"20140115-230739.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/aliceinknittingland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/20140115-230749.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/aliceinknittingland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/20140115-230749.jpg\" alt=\"20140115-230749.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/aliceinknittingland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/20140115-230757.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/aliceinknittingland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/20140115-230757.jpg\" alt=\"20140115-230757.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/aliceinknittingland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/20140115-230809.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/aliceinknittingland.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/20140115-230809.jpg\" alt=\"20140115-230809.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On my travels around the interweb, I discovered the challengingly entitled Three Movies Sweater, written in Swedish and English.
