the daily pullover
Friday, December 10, 2021Well, I started this post about 10 days ago, the day I really started to have flu like symptoms and took a Covid test. The result showed positive for Covid. Luckily, my symptoms remained mild for the entire time. My symptoms also changed daily. One day aches. One day a sore throat. One day super tired. One day a cough. One or two days a low grade fever.
My son, Andrew got it first. And then, of course, I passed it on to my husband. I am so grateful that we all had pretty mild symptoms.
Anyhow, I did have enough energy to knit everyday. I have a few gifts knit and am still plugging along on a Christmas sweater for Libby. More on those later.
Let's talk about The Daily Pullover for now.
I honestly can not say enough about this sweater. Pure dreamy. Especially if you like Linen Quill. It is such a lovely drape. Not too soft. Not too firm. Just the right combination.
It's a top down knit and requires very little brain power. You do have to keep track of your increases but once you divide for the body/sleeves it's pretty much on cruise control.
I love this kettle black color and the flecks of white linen that come through to make a basic V neck sweater a little special.
I did make my V a little "less" deep by binding off a little tighter than looser. You can play with the bind off to get the right V for your liking.
I truly think this is the perfect Daily Sweater. I have 3 skeins of Nutmeg and will be casting on for another after the first of the year. That's how much I love it!
Pattern: The Daily Pullover
Yarn: Linen Quill in Black Kettle. 3 skeins
Needles: US size 3
Modifications: The only thing I did differently was to add length to the body. My body measures 12" before the short rows.
