I’m doing a trial run of the top half of the yoke in a spare colorway of my project yarn, just because there are so many things going on that I want to feel the freedom to experiment by using yarn I don’t care about. I don’t like frogging anymore than anybody else, and while I don’t think the first project colorway would be damaged by frogging and reworking, why take that chance when I have a colorway that won’t otherwise be used?

Designing: Planning Short Rows for Sweater 2
In Newsletter #1 in EZ’s The Opinionated Knitter, she has instructions to work the short rows starting with the entire back half of the neckline, 48 of 96 total stitches. At the end of each row, she works 2 more stitches past the last turning point, working a total of 6 short rows before finishing the neck ribbing in the round. Since that sweater is done in fingering, there’s not much back neck depth added, probably only three-quarters of an inch or so, since the designed stitch gauge is 6 spi (there’s no row gauge given).
