Next step: assembly

Well, lookie here - the body and sleeves of Fanasaeter are done:

The directions call for completing the shoulder seams as the next step, then the front plackets. I will need to shop for some buttons and braid/trim in the next day or two. I'm sure there are many excellent online sources for these items, but I'm thinking I want to meet these items personally before making a purchase.

By the way, I ordered a kit from Peace Fleece on Sunday. I decided on the Coup d'Etat Cardigan in Sakhalin Salmon. Life is too short to be bland, so I went for a fairly obnoxious bright color. I had all kinds of intentions to knit a pullover, but really a cardigan is so much more practical, and I like the detail on this particular one. I intend for this to be my vacation knitting project, although I might squeeze in a bit of a head start before we leave. It would be so awesome if I could complete the sweater before we get to Glacier National Park (towards the end of our itinerary). I suspect that a toasty wool sweater will be just the thing in mid-June.
