I have arrived at a new milestone in the knitting of the Brownstone sweater: I have completed the actual body of the sweater. Only a few steps remain:
- Knit on the shawl collar (that gap in the cleavage (and on down to the belly button) will be filled by the collar, I promise)
- Seam underarms
- Weave in loose ends (so many!)
- Knit toggle loops
- Attach toggle loops
- Attach toggles
- Weave in even more loose ends
- Steam block
… Ok. There’s more to this than I realized. But! Definite progress has been made, and the end is in sight.
It looks like the sweater is going to be pretty long, particularly given the intended recipient. Luckily, this shouldn’t be a problem, as that style is a favorite of hers.
Is this the one? http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/brownstone
Yes yep.
Very nice.
Thank you. 🙂 I love Flood’s designs, and the pattern is great. WEBS – America’s Yarn Store had a sample on the floor that my friend fell in love with when we went in October, so she’s getting one as a surprise. 🙂
I wish I could visit Webs. I’d have to destroy all credit cards in my possession before hand though. Just to be safe.
Yeah. It was an incredibly dangerous place. I completely lucked out by *just* hitting their 25% discount point on my purchases, meaning that I almost came in on budget!
Looks great!
Holy hot. Making that for Stu. Thanks for the share. When are we going to WA to visit Mary?
You have a dress form!! I’m a bit jealous. And the sweater is great.
