I'm not really in love with how Caleb's sweater is coming along an that's part of the reason I've been avoiding it a bit. It's supposed to be an airplane and clouds, and I wanted it to be subtle, so I did it as reverse stockinette on a stockinette background. It's too subtle. You can't really see it.
I've been thinking about what I should do, just rip it out? I really like the chart and just wish it was clearer in the knitting. Then I remembered a suggestion from Debbie Bliss' Design it; Knit it Babies which is to use embroidery to compliment textured stitches. This isn't quite what she meant but I think the idea could work, and I'm really excited about it again. (It's still at an awkward place to take to knitting group today so it will be the blanket again, but I'm all right with that). I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do, and will likely need to start by researching some different embrodery stitches but I think the solution could make it fun as opposed to a sweater where there's random patches in reverse stockinette which is totally the look that it has now.
