Proceed With Caution
Instead of rushing through my finish work, I'm being extra-careful this time. I'm even using Nancy Wiseman's "Knitter's Book of Finishing Techniques" to read up on the recommended approach before tackling each element.
Last night I did the shoulder seams with a sort of grafting technique that I had never used before. Look how neat and nice it turned out!
This is the "wrong side" view of the seam that shows how tidy the selvedge turns out.
Then I started on the left front button band. I carefully marked the front edge in one-inch sections and picked up eight stitches in each section. I used a crochet hook to pick up the stitches, and then lifted each stitch onto the needle - tedious but not difficult.
Today: the right front button band (with buttonholes) and the neck band.
