WIP Wednesday: Handsome Chris Pullover
(files.catbox.moe)
I'm trying my hand at the Handsome Chris Pullover after successfully (nearly) completing a colourwork jumper.
I feel like I'm going to jinx myself but it's actually been easier than I thought so far and no major issues. I've had to ladder down a couple of times to fix a cable but I can manage that. Only on the back panel about half way through so we'll see how I feel when it comes to the neck at the front!
The pattern seems a bit bare when talking about the arms, does anyone have any experience with making this and have any ideas/advice on the arms?
Bonus pic:
I have a question about the yarn bowl. Does the yarn need to be rewound in order to properly use the bowl?
I've not rewound this yarn, I'm just taking the label off and getting the end. I use the bowl to have something to put the yarn in basically and because I think it looks nice. I'm terrible for buying hobby bits because they look nice, I have so many pins and stitch markers and things.
Like another person said though, if it was one of the fancy yarns that comes in a hank (I think they're called) I'd need to wind it first so it was a ball before being able to use it.
Is it a really large yarn bowl then? I've tried using a yarn bowl and I find my yarn doesn't spin properly and just pops out or gets stuck :/
I mean it does still jump out sometimes, depends how hard I pull!
Just measured it and it's 7 inches across/diameter so fairly large yes
Oh yes that's much bigger than the one I have. Makes sense. Thank you :)
