Wild Apple

Four years ago I purchased a Bohus sweater kit from a yarn dyer and spinner in Sweden.  It took me two tries to get the neck band and color work just right.  Then I did a bit of the increase shaping for the arms and chest and that was it.

The project sat in my close and on my Ravelry page.  Neglected.

So I pulled it out yesterday.  And soon thereafter, I lost it.  I had no idea what the hell I was doing.  Four years ago I decided to break from the pattern, which calls for knitting the sleeves and body in pieces to be sewn up when finished.  I decided to continue knitting it in the round.  But I did not keep any notes.  Nor did the stitch markers in the project appear to actually mark anything useful.



So tonight I did what any good knitter and nerd would do.  I made a spreadsheet.  I combined all of the instructions for the component pieces (back, sleeve one, front, sleeve two) so that I could knit them all together in the round.  I included columns for stitch counts.

So now I have a plan!

2012 is the year I finish the damn Bohus Wild Apple!
