Vox Populi
A very grateful thanks from me for your good knitting wisdom, ‘hang in there’ comments, bits of historical fashion reference, and general common sense!
I’ve looked at the photos for the February Lady Sweater pattern on Ravelry and indeed the other models are buttonhole-on-the-right as Lisa pointed out. Hmmm….never noticed that before, but then again, I never really had occasion to. Guess that’s what abject panic does to a person. So, being indeed left-handed as Rosie pointed out and being accepted as a proxy-knit-in-Oz project by Debs, I will press on.
Next topic to consider as I work the body section, shall I keep the sleeves full bodied or slim them down? I rather fancy the fully-belled look, as that’s what sets this cardy apart. But, guess I ought to do a little research to see how other knitters’ finished work looks before I decide…
I grew up wearing many hand me down shirts from my brothers, I just thought some shirts closed on one side, some on another, until i was an adult. The sweater looks like it will be lovely, no matter which side the buttons are on.
