Green Gable

Well hello my bloggy friends, its been a while! The drama llama has made an appearance at my house the past several months, so blogging just wasn't a super priority. But I'm back! And oh the knitting stories I have to tell. First off lets start with my Green Gable Hoodie from the Fall issue of Vogue Knitting. This pattern was previously published as a free pattern, but was accepted by Vogue at a later time and Im guessing reformatted. There are many people who knit this pattern when it was free and churned out beautiful FOs with no mention of problems. But problems Ive had aplenty with this project. I knit this out of Beaverslide yarn in a pretty pink colorway that I snatched off of the Destash Board on Ravelry.






Doesn't look too bad, right? Lets take a closer look.

There was no direction as to how to meld the arm cables into the center cable and I ended up fudging it on my own. After finishing this part I realized a way I could have done it better, but by this time I just wanted to finish the dang thing. Next up, shoulder shaping.


I really didnt understand what the designer wanted me to do most of the time. I kind of winged most of it, and my numbers and the patterns numbers were very different. Didnt end up looking super shouldery. And the hood! Oh the hood!!


Yeah, totally wonky.
Even with all of the difficulties, Im still happy enough with it and wear it all the time. Would NEVER knit it again though!
