Trying something new - Contiguous method

3/17/2016

8 Comments

 
I have been knitting seriously for about 14 years, and during that time I feel like I have at least dabbled in almost all the techniques out there: cables, lace, fair isle, and every sweater construction under the sun.  Well, just about every construction.  Last year I came across the contiguous method by Susie Meyers, and I was immediately intrigued.  

Top down, set-in sleeves, all worked at the same time with a nice shoulder slope.  It almost sounded too good to be true to this designer's heart.  So, I finally decided to step out of my comfort zone and give it a try.  

And, since I like to make things as difficult as possible for myself, I decided to add in three different cables.  I had forgotten what it was like to jump into a new technique and the nervousness of wondering if it would work out right, and what if I have to rip back?

The shoulder seam is almost complete, and I'm really liking the results so far.

The pattern is another in my little collection of honeycomb cables. Instead of using two stitches as the 'shoulder seam', I am using a single honeycomb cable, with more intricate cables around the neck and in the back panel.

What techniques have you tried for the first time this year?

Beautiful! I was looking for some patterns with the contiguous method and I came across this, but I have not seen it in your pattern shop: Is it only a swatch or have you made a sweater with this pattern? Is it possible to have it or just the construction of your shoulder seam? Thank you in advance. Loulame

Hi Loulame, I have been working on writing up the pattern for the last couple of months and am having trouble with the larger sizes. I'm not sure if I will be able to get the math to work out, so I might not be publishing the pattern. Sorry!

What a pity! It is such a lovely pattern. I hope you can manage to work the math and publish the pattern in the future. Best regards Loulame
