The Home Stretch
I've completed the chain stitch embroidery on the two sleeves and I've assembled the pieces:
Yet to finish is the chain stitch embroidery on the lower body, weaving in the ends, sewing on some braid trim, and sewing on some buttons. I still haven't actually bought the braid or buttons yet, but I'll be driving past a big crafts store (Michael's) on Sunday on my way to my parents house.
Look what the UPS man brought me:
I LOVE the yarn - the color is outstanding. I'm not sure how I feel about the pattern, however. The body is mostly seed stitch (not fun!) and the sleeves are 3/4 length. I could make modifications, of course, but I'm also looking at some different cardigan patterns.
One source of inspiration is the Knitter's Handy Book of Sweater Patterns that I picked up at a new yarn shop in Fort Collins yesterday. My sister and I finally got together and made a visit to the store. I won't be going back - what a dud. The yarn selection was uninspiring. The owner must be more into the weaving thing.
NOTE: Sorry, the comments still aren't working. Hope to get to it this weekend!
