Shruggy yum yum

Hoorah! I’ve almost done with my first One Skein Wonder (trust me, there will be many). I’ve been making it in the Jaeger Extra Fine Merino Aran I bought ages ago and almost made Tempting with. I’m planning on doing long sleeves on it because of the impending nasty weather. I can’t believe how coarse it feels next to Cashmerino, but when I bought it it was the softest thing I’d ever felt! Am trying to decide whether to do the sleeves flat or in the round – I hate seaming, but it always seems to take longer in the round, and the garment gets all twisted. If I do it flat I can work out where to seam up to easier, rather than adding to the ready made one and maybe making it look funny in the arm pit. So I’ve just managed to convince myself to stick to flat knitting, carry on with the larger needle, and do normal ribbing at the cuff. 🙂 Woohoo!
