Not much to report yet on this crazy scheme for the sweater. I have only done a few rows, and so far I think it will work, but it may take a bit before I can really see the overall effect. So I thought that I would do a little post about a new discovery I made when I started this project. I had a specific needle in mind, the addi turbo, when I bought this yarn and they happen to be out of it in the size I needed, so I decide to try the same needle, but the version made specially for lace knitting. They are brass coated and have a much sharper tip on the end of the needle. If you have ever knit lace you know exactly why a sharper needle could be a very good thing. Well, I absolutely love them. I have always been frustrated by dull needles. So with all this knitting and re-knitting I am glad that I have needles that I love!
