What I Wore: The HandKnit Version

 Some more views of my completed Birkin sweater (Ravelry link is here for knitters who want to know yarn, size, needles, etc. details).

 I'm immensely pleased with how this sweater turned out, especially considering I didn't knit up a gauge swatch first. For non-knitters: a swatch is a piece of knitting made up in the same yarn and recommended needles, and it's intended to test the knitter's tension or "gauge." If, instead of the recommended 26 stitches per four-inch swatch one gets 24 or 28, the overall size of the sweater can be predicted to be bigger or smaller, and changes -- to number of stitches, to needle size, to thickness of yarn, etc -- need to be made accordingly. It's considered dangerous or foolish to proceed without knitting a swatch first, but luck prevailed for me. I chose to knit the size Small, and as you can see, neither the sweater size nor the yoke placement good have been any better suited to my frame.

 I haven't yet worn the sweater with my black leather skirt, as recommended by A. in London, but I'm definitely going to try that combo soon (probably with my black Vince sneakers).

 I will probably wear it most often with jeans, both skinnies (as shown here with my Madwells) and my wider-legged, cropped, frayed-hem Vinces.

But I did wear it with a skirt the other day, a simple black knit pencil skirt, merino. I happened to have a dark brown pair of tights and slipped them on before sliding my feet into these low-heeled Think! shoes, all but the sweater being wardrobe staples From Way Back.  Scarcely wear heels at all these days, but since we were heading out to our first Ballroom Dance class, I thought they might be the ticket.

 I'll tell you more about the class as it goes along. For now, I'll just say that the first hour was challenging, our poor novice-dancer brains working constantly to figure out the sequence of rhumba steps. Besides us and the teacher, there was only one other dancer, and she obviously had much more experience than we did -- which was good, because she could partner up with Pater while the teacher led me through the routine. By the end of the hour, I could move through the sequence of figures with much room for improvement but considerable satisfaction. I suspect I'll have to relearn it all next class, but it's Process as much as Product, all over again, right?

I like this sweater so much, I've already cast on for a new one and I'm almost halfway through a yoke in a considerably different palette. You'll be able to check that out soon on Instagram, if you're curious.

 I've been sorting a few personal issues this last little while. All is manageable-to-good, but the blog may suffer a bit as other priorities assert themselves.  I suspect I'll post almost as often, but for a while there may be more photos than words, more observation than considered analysis or thinking. . . I know you'll understand. Thank you.
