Amherst

I liked the design and in my usual way, took parts of pattern I liked and changed some parts. Most often, I begin my projects with "provisional CO" to begin knitting at any point I wish and to eliminate as many seams as possible.

O.K., I am lazy and do not enjoy the "finishing" work required---which can make or break a knitting project! At age 85, I have stooped shoulders and a "tube" around waist! So I adapt patterns for these figure flaws!---short rows to correct back length; shrugs to hide belly fat when worn over silky sleeveless tanks in summer; or cardigans are useful in winter. Stay with neutral/solid colors to expand wardrobe.
