sleeves! Elizabeth is still waiting (see yesterday), but the Dale sweater now has sleeves. Yippee! I wasn't sure of the exact seaming method that I should use, but I managed to copy Wendy and Flor's pictures well enough, I think. Here's the inside just after the sleeve was added and here's a picture after the little facing was sewn over the steek. I just love the little steek facing that Dale has you make. All that brutal cutting covered up so neatly: "Nothing to see here! Move along, folks." So here is the sweater now, getting closer and closer to being done.
I'm itching to start the next one! posted by alison at 8:00 am | in

Alison...it's gorgeous. You have done such a good job. What a professional-looking finish. Posted by: Laura at February 4, 2003 8:07 AMlooks great, i can't wait to see it with a finished neck also! :) and i didn't realize they were little cars going across it! i love them! i was sitting here thinking, wow they look like little volkswagons -- oh i guess that's the "bug" part, i kept thinking it was meant to be crickets or something! DOH!! :) Posted by: carolyn at February 4, 2003 8:09 AMWow! Almost done! What size are you making, and what size needles did you end up using for the body? Yes, yours was my inspiration and DS (5 yrs old but wears a 7/8) can't wait til I'm done! Posted by: Caroline in NH at February 4, 2003 8:32 AMIt looks wonderful! :-) Posted by: Wendy at February 4, 2003 8:54 AMbeep beep! looks like a parisian traffic jam haha. I'm not sure if french cars say "beep" though. I will have to ask the other half this evening. very cute :) Posted by: kismet at February 4, 2003 9:42 AMI love that facing over the steek--very cool!
