I have now "finished" both sleeves and "attached them to the body of the sweater...
And so now it actually resembles a sweater...
This is the yoke. It's rather complicated with maintaining the stitch pattern as well as decreasing along the neck edge and along the sleeves. These are also long rows, so it's slow going.
But, I am closer to the end than the beginning. The finish is in sight.
Here's a close up of how the sleeves got attached...
There's a hole under the arms that I'll stitch up, but after I get a bit further with the yoke.
It's getting there. Faster than I expected.
This is really do I g together. I wasn’t sure how everything went until now. You have done so much and can’t wait unTIL it is all done. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's hard to envision before the sleeves go on. Under the arms is kinda boring.
DeleteIt looks great, it's going to be such a beautiful sweater!
ReplyDeleteIt's nearly done, and beautiful! A pretty project to be proud of. Will it be closed with buttons, or a zipper (or just left open) ?
