Are we revitalising this knitalong now the cooler months are in the air??

I'm about to start some topdown knitteds because I've found that I LOVE working top down!!

I have to finish some WIPs that are nearly completed and then I'm off on a top down bonanza I think.

Anyone else??

I hate knitting top down, started one top and frogged it because I wasnt enjoying it. I am crocheting the chevron lace cardi though and thats top down.

Yes it is Hilary! That still counts in my book!! It's a lovely cardigan to crochet as well - I loved working on mine. I might just have to start another Wink

I'll be doing another sweater (or 2) top down is my fave way Very Happy

I would like to do a yoked fairisle sweater but I can't find any patterns that are top down Confused

And i've promised to do another chevron for sis...although thats more for now rather than later.

I might be joining you in a top down knit yet, I have 200g of patons coral (100g of brown, 100g of green) and am thinking of knitting it into a striped top for my friends wee girl, just found this pattern on rav and it looks ideal, hopefully top down for a 22" chest changing colour every so often will keep me interested.

I dont really like knitting with circs which is why I dont enjoy top down knitting but 200g shouldn't be too bad.

I have a couple planned too Cool

Mr Greenjeans which I started and have done about half of the body but it's going to be a bit big despite being fine with guage and going down a size Confused

but may carry on and just wear round the house Wink

And am also going to start the Basic Chic Hoodie too Razz

I will be doing others later I'm sure too.

I'm not that keen on knitting on circulars either but I like knitting top down otherwise.

Well I was going to say, I'm planning on making Cassidy soon, then checked the pattern and realised it wasn't top-down Laughing

Ah well, I think I am going to make it in black Cygnet aran as I've been craving a black cabled hoodie for ages. Best to start while we still have good daylight! Currently making the Heather Hoodie Vest from the latest Knitscene which is coming along nicely Very Happy

I can't think of a top-down design I'm planning on any time soon!
