All done, and I absolutely love it - fit is perfect. I'll show you on another day when I can be bothered to do my hair and put on a little makeup. And when light returns to Chicago.
Ahhhh, that makes sense-- you're able to line up the side seams with the stripes! Genius! Honestly, I hate seaming so much that I generally avoid anything but top-down in-the-round projects (seriously, I finished knitting the Aidez cardigan nearly a month ago and haven't been able to force myself to seam it yet!), but this is sooo nice!
I can't believe how quickly you were able to put that together! I may have to steam-block my next FO-- it's so hard to wait for it to dry!
ReplyDeleteThe stripes made it easy to sew together too, believe it or not!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the stripes made it much easier than it otherwise would have been. It is SO fantastic. Love it.
ReplyDeleteAlready done? It's beautiful. I think you will look very glamorous in it. I think I told you that I've always loved this pattern.
ReplyDeleteYou ... are... an... inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThanks, girls! I don't know about glamorous - I think my aesthetic is more Land Girl, so this one is perfect for that!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely pattern, and you've knit it so beautifully (and quickly!).
ReplyDeleteThanks! I was more than a little obsessed!
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful and I can not wait to see you show it off.
ReplyDeleteI will practice steam blocking with those swatches.
hugs
Gail, the finished sweater looks amazing! Well worth the aches and pains :)
