What do you know - there is another Owlet on my needles! I am attempting to knit this one top down. I am keeping detailed notes as I go (on my rav page) so hopefully I can be of help to anyone else who may want to try it this way, as well. I don't mind bottom up construction, really I don't, it's just that I prefer to try the project on the intended recipient while knitting to make sure it will fit - which is only possible when knitting top down. Plus, I like that I can just add length to the body and sleeves in the future if need be.
I am a bit further now than the picture shows (I really needed a night to relax with my needles), and just finished dividing for the arms. I don't know what it was about that step (perhaps staying up too late at night?), but I had a hard time trying to figure out how many stitches for each section and where exactly they should be placed. The short rows on the back of the sweater made it so that the placement had to be pretty spot on. We'll see how it goes from here!
What are you working on? Happy creating!
