I have just under an inch to knit on the body
and then I will be adding the 6 stitch I-cord bind off. (new to me!) Add some short sleeves and voila--I can taste the finish!
I already have sweater #2 set out and waiting for me. I will not be making it striped--the yarn above is worsted weight which I will be using. The sleeves will be slightly longer and the body length slightly shorter so the yarn amount should balance out right! lol
I have never worn grey but since I have been letting my hair grow naturally, it is getting to be an interesting shade that this sweater will compliment; well, that's the plan! Better pictures to come when I actually start the knitting!
Nice! Almost finished!!
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteThe marked yarn will make a great sweater. I love the stripes on the nearly finished sweater.
ReplyDeleteWow! That was fast. This has been a good year for my sweaters. I've actually had them out and have been wearing them. I'm terrible about getting them out but this year I think I've managed to wear everyone but the Lopi. You need snow for Lopi and we haven't really seen a flake of the real stuff in ages.
ReplyDeleteYou are an inspiration! That sweater looks great. I have a couple of sweaters in the works and need to follow your lead and actually do it...along with the other WIPs!
