The back of the sweater came off the knitting machine pretty easily today.
So when my daughter and children left,
I cast on for the front;
since the sleeves are already finished,
soon I would be able to stitch the parts together and add ribbing to the neckline.
The back and sleeves are seen here with the 1/2 pattern I use to 'guide' me
through the stitches to increase or decrease as needed.
It is a happy marriage between my garment construction and knitting skills.
Perfection!
Here is the happy crew just before they left;
smiles cover the sadness of the parting!
We will plan a visit to Georgia to see them in a few months, Lord willing!
The leaving is always the hardest. I confess, when my son and grandkids left last Sunday, I shed a few tears.
ReplyDeleteYour knitting machine is amazing. I can't believe how fast you can make a sweater with that thing. Bravo!
Blessings,
