Compared to my progress on other knitted items, my version of Reiko Kuwamura’s Hey Hey, My My went by very quickly–I started it in April, worked on it mostly in June, and cast off last week. Already improvement over the year and a half I took to make the Rocky Coast Cardigan.
Hey Hey, My My is beautifully designed. It’s top down, with a cleverly structured yoke, and no seaming. I can’t say I enjoyed doing blackberry stitch in cotton yarn (nor did I get much out of the acres of stockinette), but there’s a certain satisfaction when a pattern comes out really well. I modified the pattern by making the sleeves short and if I were to knit it again (the old refrain), I’d move the decreases to the sides so they don’t show as much.
It’s comfortable, cool thanks to the cotton yarn, but substantial enough to wear this fall. Thanks to Shireen, as usual, for the lovely photography.
