Just to recap: last week we cast on for the shrug, knit the yoke, and tried on the shrug to make sure it fits. In today’s post, we will go through some of the possible fit problems that you may have run into while trying on your shrug after last week’s installment. Once we do…

In this week’s post, we will cast on and work through the YOKE of the shrug.  The yoke of the sweater is the part that contains the cast on edge, the beginnings of the sleeves, and the top part of the body. Now that you’ve found the perfect yarn, the correctly-sized needles, made your swatch,…

It’s hard to believe that I’m near the “finishing line” of this Cable Luxe Tunic! Actually, I still have one sleeve to finish–and I will try it on my daughter before I finish the sleeves. The yoke was very fun to do, and I realized that at the end that I could have done this…

I’m now into the heavy-duty knitting part of this tunic. I really like looking at the cables going in different directions in this sweater, and I’m also having a great time seeing pictures of some of your tunics grow as well! Have I made mistakes along the way? Well, I always do! But I tell…
