I've got the wool and I cannot wait to knit it. What shall I do of it? I can make it a skirt, a jacket or a jumper. The last possibility seems more appealing to me, so I have to decide what kind of jumper it will be. it can be a long one, a waist long one, with large sleeves or with an extra sized collar. I think that a long one with a warm large collar would be great for these cold winter days, so no large sleeves needed. I must decide the knitting pattern to be applied to this type of clothe. If I want an extra thick jumper, I can use a pattern made of vertical raws of 8 like model, which will strech it, so I shall also wear it under a warm vest. If I want a large and thick jumper, I shall knit in an alternation of 8 like raws and - buckles bands, which will loosen the strech aspect the tight vertical raws give to it. I can also use all kind of patterns in the same jumper. They will be arranged in vertical bands. A certain type of a pattern should be most often used, while the bands near it may be of different knitting patterns. A blouse for warm rooms can be made in lace pattern of 1 buckle extra the original number of them, 1 buckle -, by making 1 buckle of two older buckles, then another more one. The type of collar makes a jumper different from other blouses one may have in the same colour or almost. If your jumper is a thick large one with normal sleeves, you may like to end it in a warm large collar.

In order to make it, you end the front size of the jumper and reinsert the needles in the semicircle you've made by diminishing the number of buckles from the middle point of breast to the shoulders and ending one buckle more each line by making one new of two old buckles.After that you keep on knitting the buckles you put on your needle by the desired lenghth of the collar. You may increase the number of buckles with 2 from 4 to 4 a side lines ( or more often if you like wide collars) The collar is to be knitted in the same pattern the lower band of your jumper is and that of the endings of the sleeves. Usually a 2-2 alternation of buckles makes the bandsnot to loose their original shape after several washings.
