First sweater class was a success. Since I had already done my swatch, I was able to dive right into casting on and getting started. The pattern calls for 6 rows of stockinette before starting the seed stitch trim. This creates a rolled edge. I'm not too big of a fan of rolled edges, so I skipped the stockinette and just did 6 rows of seed stitch and straight into the stockinette. I'm working the back first and I probably have 3 inches of the sweater so far. YAY!
I'm knitting on 32" Addi Turbo Circulars. I pretty much only buy 32" or 40" Addis now because they are the most versatile. Once I learned the magic loop technique for socks, I learned that you can use that method for any circular project. I prefer circs for straight knitting too because it makes knitting on the train easier. No poking anyone with needles or risk of breaking a needle in my bag.
