(Comprehensive pocket content from last May right here.) You secure the pockets on the wrong side, and the curl of stockinette on the front lets a decorative and winsome part of the lining show. (Wee? That’s such a Jimmy Perez thing to say.) The pattern is crystal clear on this wee maneuver. You knit the pocket linings separately, put the stitches on a holder, then knit them into the body of the sweater at the right moment. The colors are Jimmy Perez-appropriate Dark Grey Heather, Moor, and Rough Sea. It has two little pockets that are adorable. The stranding is barely visible, but it’s there. Then you pick up around the armholes, and before Detective Inspector Jimmy Perez once again yells at Sandy to get the CCTV footage from downtown Lerwick, you’re done. You knit the body first, in the round from the bottom up, then seam the drop shoulders. I used a US size 11 (8 mm) needle, so it turned into a sweater remarkably fast. Similar to the Daytripper Cardigan, the Destination Pullover uses the same recipe of Léttlopi worked at a much larger gauge than the yarn specs call for. It would be perfect as a first-time sweater project. This Destination Pullover is the project you want when the goal is a simple, satisfying, sweet sweater. I’m going to get to Shetland! It has to happen!)Īnyway.
Douglas Henshall is so devastatingly resolute as Detective Inspector Jimmy Perez. (Have we even talked about Shetland? How it is such a perfect discovery for these late-pandemic times, when I’ve binged just about everything there is to binge? It is so beautiful, that place.
#Wee duplicate detective series
I don’t know what happened, but I know that I am sitting here now wearing a sweater that took me exactly three episodes of the BBC television series Shetland to finish.
I was 1.5 sleeves from the promised land when something derailed my efforts last May. Nothing like a hunt for my Léttlopi stash to lead me to a suspiciously lumpy tote bag. It was 75 percent finished when I started banging it out. Sometimes you just gotta go with the momentum, and for me, the momentum was my work-in-progress Destination Pullover. I have to admit that I’ve been Banging Out Something Other Than A Daytripper.
