Halletts Ledge





I am knitting Halletts Ledge right now.  I finished the body of the sweater and am working on the sleeves.  Unfortunately...or maybe fortunately, I found a mistake in the cable on the right front section. It was early on so I was not able to rip back.  I dropped the whole cable section down to the mistake and re-knit just that section.  But while I was doing that I re-worked the shoulder and discovered I had read the pattern wrong.  So both shoulders got reworked.  Needless to say, although I was humming along, this major snag has slowed me down a bit.  I want it to be done because I want to wear it, but also because I haven't finished a big project in a long time....have to get it on the to-done list!

Pattern details:
  • yarn:  Rowan Lima
  • skeins: 12
  • color: blue/gray
  • Halletts Ledge by Elinor Brown from Twist Collective
Oh...and see the pattern lying on the dock next to the body of the sweater in the picture...a few minutes later the pattern flew off the dock and disappeared in the water before I even realized it!  Thank goodness for having it saved on my computer.
