I just love the bright rainbow colors on this one!

Some late night knitting 🧶 💕

Nagle wymyslilam, że muszę skończyć zaległą czapkę zanim zima się skończy. Bo gruba włóczka i przecież szybko pójdzie. No cóż już dwa razy zaliczyłam prucie. 🤦‍♀️ A nowy rok bez prucia miał być. A jak u was? Prułyście już w tym roku?😄⭐️ . Plötsligt kom jag på att jag måste sticka en mössar innan vintern är över. Tjockt garn så det kommer att gå fort eller hur? Nåväl, har repat upp två gånger redan. 🙈 Och i det nya året skulle jag låta bli att repa. Men icke. Hur är det hos er? Har ni repat upp redan? 😊 . Suddenly I realized that I have to knit a hat before winter is over. Bulky yarn so it will go fast right? Well, frogged up twice already. 🙊 I hoped that I will nonfrog. This year. But not. How are you? Still frog free this year?🥳🌟 . 🧶Big wool by @rowanyarns from @biferno.pl 🥢 8 mm by @addi_by_selter 👒 design my own . . . #instaknitting #robienienadrutach #iwonaeriksson #knitting_is_love #knittedhat #knitaddicted #yarnaddict #strikkedilla #handknit #knitstagram #striking #sticka #stickning #slowfashion #knittinglife https://www.instagram.com/p/CnCOH02IEK8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Finished! Well, mostly lol. I want to make blue and white pieces for the tic-tac-toe side but honestly I'm tired of looking at this. Taking it camping this upcoming weekend so they'll just have to share the red and black pieces for now.

Lessons learned: Not all stitch patterns work for a circular yoke. After several tries, thinking long and hard and doing the math over and over again, I have learned that this stitch pattern is not suited for a circular yoke. Let me try to explain why... The first version I knit - pictured in the post from a few days ago - was way to small because I increased too little around the neck. The second version - pictured above - fits perfectly around the neck, but is 5 to 6 repeats too wide around the shoulder to bust area. In order to maintain the zigzag pattern, it is necessary to place a certain amount of increases in very specific places of the stitch pattern. But for the yoke to fit, I would need to place the increases differently. The zigzag pattern has too few increases around the neckband and too many increases in the last rows of the stitch pattern. 🤷‍♀️ So, what to do now? I am not ready to give up on this design idea, yet. As soon as I find the time, I will sit down and try to rearrange the stitch pattern - hopefully to look similar to what you see above but allowing for a better positioning of the increases. 🤞 I will keep you updated. Wishing you all a lovely Sunday! 🤗 #circularyoke #yokesweater #yokes #circularyokesweater #herbgardenknitwear #designer #designfail #knittingfail #knittingfailures #knittinglife #myLifeAsAKnitwearDesigner #herbgardenknitwear #herbgardenknitwearYokes #knitting #knitter #learnfrommymistakes #knittinghelp #knitweardesign #knitweardesigner #knitterslove #yokelove #circularyokelove https://www.instagram.com/p/Co1wSFqozYp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
