I have one sleeve done for the Begonia sweater--16" of a close fitting sleeve.
The cool thing about he sleeve is that while it is close fitting,
it doesn't squeeze or bind because it is knit in the half fisherman (broken rib) stitch!
It will be nice to get the other one done and head on into the yoke!
And tonight the surprise for Will was completely appliqued
and I loaded it on the frame and quilted it!!!!1
I was very fatigued standing that long but I was so close,
I wasn't walking away until it was done!
Tomorrow I will be applying the binding on this one and the sampler, too!
Look what was delivered this afternoon!
It sits on the end table by Bill and brightens his day;
it is nice to be remembered; he isn't 'sick' but he hasn't been able to live normally either!
So, if you've ever wondered-Don't hesitate to send flowers to a man!
(Bill has been to two drs this week-they are not thrilled with
his progress or the lack thereof .)

I had no idea your appliqued project was so big! That is amazing work. And the progress on the sweater....wow. That would be at least a year's worth for me.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear Bill is still having issues. The flowers are a nice thought. Poor guy.
I love a good close-fitting but comfortable sleeve. With Cascadas done, I'm trying to decide what to start next... maybe some Christmas presents.
ReplyDeleteI agree, men appreciate and enjoy receiving flowers just as much as women. Will is going to love his gift!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flowers and perfectly suitable for a man. I'm continuing to pray for Bill and for healing.
ReplyDeleteThe sweater and applique are both beautiful. So intricate.
Blessings,

Yay for progress!!! I am making lots of it right now, but nothing is close to finished. Oh well, at least you will have some soon!
