Trellis, Oh Lovely Trellis...

Pattern: Trellis, size 12 mo., Knitty, by Britta Stolfus Rueschhoff.

Needles: Size 5 Bryspun needles. These needles were the best option. I started on Addi Turbos but they were just too slippery, the Byrspun needles were great to knit with for the cotton.

Yarn: Knit Picks, Shine Worsted, Cream, 6 skeins

Changes: I couldn’t figure out how to Kitchener Stitch the shoulder together without having a strip of stockinette stitches, so I bound them off and sewed them together.

Overall: I loved knitting this sweater. I think it is the best thing I’ve done so far. The pattern is interesting, keeps your attention, and is not too difficult. I got a chance to practice cabling without a cable needle more and I can’t image using a cable needle any longer. I really love the way it turned out and I’m really pleased with it overall. The worst part was the finishing. I don’t know why I hate finishing things so much. It’s like sewing, and I like to sew. Go figure.

The one thing I need to do yet is to make a label for it. I've used this tutorial, before and they turned out great. They really help make an item personalized.
