Didn't Work

 

Right, now I know why knitters don't finish off necklines with cables. When I finished Jack's pullover, I thought the cable finish looked good. But it stretched, so the pullover looked saggy and horrible. Not a good look. I did mean to correct it in the middle of summer, when the pullover was languishing in the cupboard, but of course I didn't get around to it until the weather turned cool and winter was definitely on its way. I used a circular needle to pick up stitches around the neck and work a more conventional ribbed neckline, without undoing the cables or anything else. It has worked fine and the pullover looks a whole lot better.

  1. It does look much better but what a fiddle picking up all those stitches. Lesson learned and taught to others reading your blog too!

  2. I've never tried a cable neckline. Now I know that it's something to avoid.

  4. I agree with Muskaan. It looks GREAT, appears intended, worth repeating sometime.

  5. Jack must have the fanciest jerseys in town. That looks very nice.
