Two arms, a front and a back – time to start sewing up….
I have just completed the second sleeve of my nephew’s cable-knit so time to start sewing up!
I’m feeling quite pleased with myself but not enough to start sewing up straight away. I love the knitting but always have a sense of impending doom when it comes to putting it all together π

I can’t use the garden as an excuse for procrastination as the weather is atrocious outside. Very windy and hammering down with rain. So will have to find another excuse or just get on with it π€
Woolly wishes,
Jane β‘β‘β‘
That’s a lot of yarn yardage skillfully knitted up. I look forward to seeing the sweater assembled.

Gorgeous knitting, it looks great. With you on the sewing up front, itβs no fun, I sometimes start a new project so I can alternate sewing up with actual knitting! Weatherβs foul here too.

I’m with all the other commenters – GREAT JOB! (sewing up is a ‘chore’ but the end result is to be looked forward to!)
Enjoy getting towards the ‘finished product’!

so very well done on getting all the bits knitted! I’m another one who doesn’t like sewing up, and I wonder if there’s a single knitter out there that does ^^

There’s a reason I alter patterns to eliminate as much sewing as possible – it’s worth it to me to put in the time up front.

Looks fab! Very trendy for the traditional knits now. I like the sewing up, making a 2D into a 3D. π
