Gathered pullover, chapter 1


The pattern for the Gathered Pullover is pretty easy, so far. I've done 9 inches of stockinette in the round and have completed the first 4 rows of the design. The yarn is driving me crazy, though. It is Lily Chin Gramercy that I got on sale at Webs. It is a fabulously soft and drapy DK superwash merino that is constantly winding up on itself. I'll be working along and all of a sudden I'll have a big knot of yarn wound around my fingers. Grrrr. I have to stop and untangle every minute. It also has a MAJOR tendency to curl up in stockinette. When I got to around 4-5 inches done, I put it on the ironing board and steamed the heck out of it. At least I seem to be maintaining gauge!
