Knitting update
Dec. 20th, 2009 11:31 pmIt's been about a month, so it's about time.
( Hats! )
And finally an out of date photo for Mom's vest:
It's out of date because today I finished the armscye and sewed the shoulder seams. I've picked up stitches for the neck ribbing so after 2" of that I will have just the armholes to finish, the faux i-cord in front to sew down, and then the hard part... installing a zipper.
I also have a pair of gloves in progress. I have wrists, palms, and index fingers done on both gloves and just started the middle finger of one of them today. I knit the wrists and palms of both of them at once using the magic loop technique and a long circular needle with both ends of the skein of yarn. It wasn't as much of a tangle-fest as I feared it might become. I find it is quicker to knit the fingers one at a time on double pointed needles, largely because I can get into a rhythm and just keep knitting without having to shuffle the stitches around on the long circular.
Next update should be finished vest (possibly minus zipper) and gloves.
