This has been a very busy month. In January I had a successful repair operation on the carpal tunnel in my right wrist and last month my left wrist was also repaired. It has meant interrupting my favourite pastime for a good, and very necessary, cause. My right wrist has healed and the left one is also healing quickly and well.
Before the last operation I had started knitting a new sweater for my son. As the last one I made for him was knitted in Aran weight he asked for a thinner one for more moderate weather. The front is knitted in three parts with the central panel in a cable design and the side panels worked in a variation of fisherman’s rib.
It is designed with a raglan sleeve and the shaping is fully fashioned. This time I bought a pattern instead of designing my own.
The central panel has a background of reverse stocking stitch and is a quite intricate “rope cable” design.
When the sweater is completed the sleeves will be in fisherman’s rib with a single rope twist cable running from the cuff to the neckband. The back is knitted in fisherman’s rib.

Very nice sweater! A raglan aran is on my to do list. What weight of yarn are you using?
