I think I’ve entered some kind of sleeve time warp. Srsly. It took me two weeks, TWO WEEKS, to figure out and be happy with the first sleeve. I can and have knit ENTIRE sweaters in that time period. I’m absolutely annoyed by this. On the upside, it only took one day to knit the second sleeve. *sigh*.
Last Wednesday Brandt and I headed up to Michigan for Thanksgiving with my fam. It was just a quick trip, and we came back on Friday, though I wished we could have stayed another day. But when you have to work, you have to work. It was really really nice, just my immediate fam, the family pooches, and a seriously delicious Turkey. Oh, and football, gotta have football on T-Giving. That’s when I worked on the second sleeve. Now it’s all blocked and awesome, and I’ve picked up the collar. Then just the icord edges and zipper. I’m practically done. Yay. Though I do want to figure out some kind of Icord + inner zipper facing, like the ones I’ve knit in the past. It makes sewing in the zipper SO much easier.
It looks great! What’s the pattern?
You’re in the home stretch now!
Despite initial sleeve trouble, it looks fantastic!
Brant is going to look fantastic in that sweater! Your almost done, and sleeves are just stupid anyway 😉
Worth the wait, I would say.
will have to see if you’ve put this in your Rav projects – my husband would love an argyle design like this!
You’re practically there! That’s one handsome sweater!
Looks good! I’m glad you are happy with the sleeve design now, because two weeks is a looong time to work on it!
Wow….it is going to be wonderful! Brandt is a lucky guy!
Just think, when the sweater is done and the sleeves look great, those two weeks will be totally worth it.
yay! i assume i’ll see it thursday…
Nice argyles. Nice work. I’d love to see the finish.
Hi Knitterly :),
I wanted to thank you so much for your GameDay Scarf, and ask a quick question if you have the time to respond…
Did you do any blocking or shaping of the scarf? It is not mentioned in the pattern, but mine is turning out to look slightly skinnier than yours is in the pictures… I’m making it as a gift and otherwise would not be so perfectionistic but… please, please let me know if you did anything! Would love for mine to look even partly as fantastic as yours did. :)))
Thanks again, Emma
It looks awesome. I have yet to put in a zipper but I’m slowly working towards it.
