Starsky


Pattern: Starsky by Jordana Paige from Knitty
Size: Medium
Yarn: KnitPicks Sierra [70% wool, 30% superfine alpaca; 110 yds/100m per 100g skein]; color: Mist; 11 skeins
Needles: US 10/6mm
Gauge: 16 sts & 18 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
Info: Though this was not my first attempt at cables, it was my first attempt at a complex cable pattern. I followed the pattern exactly for my size. The only problem that I had was seaming the arms to the body of the sweater. At the top of the shoulder, it kept "buckling" as a result I had to redo the setting in of the sleeve several times. Other than that, this is a definite do over.
