I still have to sew up the side and sleeve seams, sew on buttons, and knit the collar, but I'm getting very close to being done. I tried it on like this, and it looks like it will fit perfectly, especially after a good blocking. I only gave the pieces a light steam blocking before I started seaming, but I'm planning a full wet block when the whole thing is done to really even out the stitches.Meanwhile, when I was at Natural Stitches, I picked up two extra skeins of Cascade 220 for my brother's scarf and got a sudden urge to knit a pair of socks. Shocking, isn't it? I know there's a lot of sock yarn in my stash, but the urge was specifically for a pair of simple stockinette socks, so I thought something self-striping or self-patterning was in order, and I didn't think I had anything like that already. So I picked up this skein of Online Supersocke:
So it's Labor Day and I feel like knitting socks again -- I guess fall must really be here!
I love it when urges are specific. Less time to think about it means more time to act on it.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that you are almost finished with that sweater already. Oh wait, yes I can. ;)
ReplyDeleteooooh, your ribbing sweater just looks almost like mine. Mine is all seamed up thanks to you!!!! Thank you. But I am afraid it is to small, hopefully blocking it will tell. I can't wait to see it on you!
ReplyDeleteThe sweater looks good. How are you? I've been out of the loop with the blogging/knitting world for the past couple of months. I started a new f/t job about 6 weeks ago with 5 weeks of training before that. I didn't get a lot of knitting done. My commute is about to change a bit so I should be able to get some more knitting done. Hope all is well with you.
ReplyDeleteYour sweater looks great. I can't believe you are almost finished already!
