Slinky Ribs

Last weekend Kristie and I got together to officially cast on our Slinky Rib sweaters together. I don't have a picture of our cast-on party but you will have to trust that we had fun anyway. :-)

Below is a picture of the piece worked down the back to the armpit increases.


Here the provisional cast on is split into three sections. The two outer are the front neckline and the middle stitches are reserved for later when the neck edging is picked up.


Below the piece just had the body joined in the round.


This one shows off the stitches as well as the change in rib pattern for the rib design. This picture was taken this morning.


This is a little teaser of what the finished sweater will look like. I am knitting this piece in a cotton/linen blended yarn so that I can wear it this spring/summer. I love the feel of this yarn in the rib pattern.
