I’m making some progress on my Throwback sweater! The body is done and bound off, and I’m maybe halfway done with the first sleeve. The sleeve is going pretty easy, especially now that I’m halfway done with the decreases 🙂 As usual, please excuse the terrible indoor nighttime picture.
After the sleeves are done, I’m going to have some decisions to make. The original does not have buttons, though it does have bands inner edges of the fronts. I’m thinking I might want buttons, but not sure about that. Also, this sweater may need pockets. The pattern doesn’t call for them, but I might throw them in there anyway. We shall see.
Do you often make changes in patterns you are knitting (or crocheting or sewing)? What kinds of changes do you like to make?

Good progress. Love a pocket – reckon you should add one (or two!). Yes, I change most things I knit or sew, sometimes accidently when I realise I’ve knit the main body of something too long and decide not to rip back!

It’s always good to vary things to suit, and that is definitely a good reason! I am leaning toward pockets 🙂

Wow! The yoke is gorgeous! I do make changes if I want them, if I know how. Or sometimes I look it up. I think pockets and buttons will be nice additions!

The sweater is so pretty. I am not a pattern modifier. There are so many patterns out there that hit all my buttons that I haven’t had the need to.

That’s true – there’s almost certainly something that will fit what you want!

I say add pockets and buttons. I’m all for making changes to patterns.

I think that is likely what is going to happen 🙂

I don’t have your skills so the changes I make are mostly just sleeve and overall length.

Looking great!!! I need to learn to make larger sleeves around the upper arms. I don’t want skin tight sleeves, but that’s the look the last generation.

I like pockets. I like to make changes to patterns too. Like I will knit a different cuff than what my sock pattern calls for.

Pockets are always nice to have 🙂 It’s great to be able to switch out bits of patterns for things that work better for you!
