I have transferred the pattern from the old unfinished sweater to a piece of paper. It took some efforts and quite a few mistakes, but finally I got it correct.
Then I took some measurements.
The red and white Christmas stocking is made in the same yarn and needle size I want to use. I measured it on a sweater Leander size.......yes, I will make a sweater for Leander, to figure out how many stitches I need.
A circular needle the correct size.......
.......a rough sketch of the sweater I want to make.......
.......counting stitches.
And I am ready to start.
Watching this unfold is going to be fun It may inspire me to stretch my knitting beyond mittens. The only knitting I have done for my 2 year old grand daughter is a newborn hat, which she rapidly out grew.
