The sweater looks gorgeous and I bet it will be all kinds of comfortable and versatile. <br /><br />I am also puzzled as to why people are so afraid of seaming sweaters. Yes, it takes some skill and attention, but as you put it... if you're good enough to knit a sweater you can probably figure out. I wouldn't dream of using anything but mattress stitch - I am quite a neat freak about seaming!<br /><br />My last crafting red letter day... Finally getting to wear the Regency corset I made for a fancy ball!Gausshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953027267171854345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-27977092635197015702013-02-01T22:13:06.119-05:002013-02-01T22:13:06.119-05:00I can only think of one red letter day, when I rea...I can only think of one red letter day, when I realised that I can indeed sew my own jeans!<br /><br />Can't waaaaaait to see the sweater when it's finished blocking - it sounds wonderful, and that amount of effort shows through to the end product!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18413671907959074949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-62653122075474416402013-02-01T16:45:16.655-05:002013-02-01T16:45:16.655-05:00Wow.

L...Wow. You did it! I can't wait to see it on.<br /><br />Last red letter moment? Finishing my first fully 'me' designed cardi at xmas (Toasty). That stretched me, but was a good learning experience, and I now feel able to do it again! Someday.<br /><br />Fav yarn weight? Not sure. I recently knit my first chunky thing and it was good fun - quick and satisfying, but then I prefer the look and feel of thinner gauge yarns.<br /><br />I have just started my first 2ply project, so will let you know in a few weeks if I have changed my mind! lindahttp://fromthepurlside.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-27156196403951282912013-01-31T16:16:39.258-05:002013-01-31T16:16:39.258-05:00I share your love of cashmere!

I think that my next sweater will most likely be a smaller gauge. Looking forward to your round up! <br /><br />People don't like mattress stitch??? I didn't know that. I actually thought it was a very handy and useful stitch. Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.com
