Finished up some projects
I knit a sweater for my friend Miguel while I was in Mexico but just blocked it a couple of days ago. It is made with Jamieson and Smith Shetland wool that I ordered from Scotland in the colour Old Rose (#9097) and 3.25 mm needles. I knit in the style of Elizabeth Zimmermann from the bottom up and I think I would start the opening a little lower if I were to do this again. Also finished up the March socks and included them with the January and February ones for a picture. I'll give a pair of them to my brother as a birthday gift.

Maybe a stupid question bit when using the bottom up Elizabeth Zimmerman what did you do when you got to the v neck opening? Did you steek or did you start working back and forth instead of in the round?
I steeked, but you could
I steeked, but you could just work back and forth. My tension is really different when I have to purl so I try not to combine the two types in one piece.

Either way is fine with me. I do find, though, that I like V necks decreased from the bottom rather than increased from the top.
