The Finest Kind Sweater Designed by Alicia Plummer is Coming Along!

In a past blog post I think I mentioned that Dear One asked me to make him the Finest Kind Sweater.  I have been working two or more rounds a day for all summer.  Finally yesterday I finished the right front section and worked a three-needle bind off to put the two shoulders together.  The first try I managed to bind off both fronts together instead of binding a right front to a right back etc.  Oh well.  So I took that bind off out and did it properly the second time!

Next thing to do was to knit the collar which I did when we came home from the FamilySearch Center.  We had patrons in the Center last night and enjoyed helping them.


Here is a photo of the shoulders stitched together correctly.  Dear One tried it on and the sweater fits!


Here is the collar.  Not a great design in my view but that is what is called for so I did it.  Finished it late last night.  No ends woven in yet.  

Hopefully today I will start picking up stitches for the first sleeve...
