Last piece of sweater WIP is drying.

For assembling I plan to start with shoulders, attach sleeves, then seam sleeves. Then add bottom skirt pieces, then edges all over. If anyone has done more sweaters than me disagrees on order, let me know!

Blocking pieces of the sweater. Bits at a time because I don’t have more blocking mats.

Still knitting the back bottom but that’s just a big rectangle of stockinette. Once everything is blocked, then need to assemble and knit the edges on a lot of it: neck, sleeve ends, button bands. And add pockets.

Got through about an inch tonight while watching a couple of episodes of Bake Off.

Three inches of grey done, only another six or seven before starting the ribbing!

Also getting the colour right in this photo was a pain. But this is pretty close :)

Update! I finally got some more time to work on this, and finally I’m at the part where it transitions to just the grey for the rest of the body

This week is really busy, and maybe next week, but hopefully I get a few quiet nights and can smash out some rounds

It’s all just plain knit from here to the ribbing, but alternate rows have a single slipped stitch at the beginning of round and middle of round. Going to be a pain to remember, but probably not very noticeable if I forget

Hmm. This sounds distinctly like a need for a #flag of #Canada #Sweater #Knitting pattern challenge. <throws down the mitten> Hear this, #KnittingPattern #design ers?

I will have a top-down #BabySweater #cardigan version online shortly. I will need some folks to test-kni it. I may even be able to send #yarn.
