In the words of Setsuko Torii, "The yarn is also a living creature. It will stretch or shrink depending on the season or where you live." Even as I was sewing these six pieces together today, I never dreamed they would fit like this. It seems that the garment is a living creature, as well.
Left to do: Weave in ends — they are hanging all over the place! Crochet a 50" long tie. Oh.my.god. I am almost finished with this thing!!!
Right now, though, while the window light is still "good," I think I'll start sewing up another…
Woo hoo!
I love it! Do you? It is a beautiful and organic sweater.
Happy thought of the day: it will take you 10 minutes to crochet a 50″ chain. If it were a 50″ I-cord it would take you hours. 🙂
Oh, that is a gorgeous sweater! Love it! 🙂
That is going to look eight kinds of fabulous! You’re doing an awesome job.
Oh wow! I can see that over jeans, over casual skirt, a dressy skirt, that yarn will live. It is beautiful, I hope you like it.
You are rockin’ the Olympic knitting!
I love that. It looked so different flat & in pieces. I even like the ends left unwoven (but I’m a deconstructionisty I guess).
I’m really liking this, Vicki!
Can’t recall what the heck it’s called so I’ll have to look back a few posts….
I think you will get more satisfaction from all this finishing than you would from one complete new garment. It was a very good idea indeed.
Awesome!
