Spring Knitting Projects

You guys might have caught on to the fact that I've had problems with my arms. It lasted for years and limited the things I could do, but one of the things I could do was lust after knitted jumpers. My Ravelry queue inflated until it reached the stage where knitting everything on it was more wishful thinking than realistic goals.

Last summer I spent 2 months gradually getting used to knitting again, and since then I've mainly knitted DK winter jumpers, and I now own enough winter jumpers to last me a while. The next goal is lace and thin knitted jumpers for spring, summer and autumn :)

Again, my Ravelry queue keeps growing and mutating, and I thought it might make it easier to get an overview if I list the top 5 items on my knitting wish-list.






How about you guys, do you have any knitting/crafting plans made up?

    I've made the one at the bottom! It is dead simple, and really nice to wear.

    The neck details in the second and third pictures - faux tie and openwork - are really intriguing.

    I'm currently working on 'It Cannot Fail To Please', from ASIT vol 1. I've been struggling over the length; four pattern repeats seems a bit short but five far too long. I've gone with four and am hoping for the best...

    I've just started the slip stitch jumper on the bottom of the list :) I'm going for a deep burgundy for the welt, sleeve ribbing and yoke, and pale blue, deep purple, a pale latte colour and of course the burgundy for the slip stitch pattern. I like It Cannot Fail to Please as well, one day I'll knit it. When it comes to the length of jumpers I've concluded I need 13.5 inches from hem to armscye. I've made a cardigan that's shorter than that and I keep pulling it down. Could you do 4 1/2 repeats for the jumper or would it look off?
