I posted an update (with sleeve pictures) on my blog the other day. Since that time I have finished the knitting part of Mermaid! I'm hoping to do the i-cord edge of my second sleeve tonight and hopefully start the seaming. I had a question for everyone before I start:
What is the best way to seam Mermaid? Should I block the pieces first, then seam? Or seam together, then block? Also, I'm a bit confused about the collar and shoulder seaming. I'm going to check through the other blogs that have already finished Mermaid to see if they have any suggestions. I might even attempt to read the pattern directions! :)
Hopefully within the next few days I'll have a finished sweater to show. Then I'm thinking about "Tweedie"....
Any thoughts? (Thanks in advance.)
Wouldn't you know, I'm behind in Bloglines and you go and finish, and when I try to load your blog, I can't! Has to be some configuration with my work computer which has been giving me fits this week. Which is about the right timing with 2 big projects due in the next two weeks. Anyway, congrats! And I'll try again tonight from home. :)
ReplyDeleteNo suggestions, sorry, but just wanted to say it is gorgeous!!! wow.
ReplyDeleteI am working on Tweedie. The cool part is that it is done on larger needles, 4mm (US 6), so I bought it hoping it would go faster than something on tinier needles. I am just not a fast knitter but it is coming along. I haven't worked on it in about a month but if you have any questions I will be happy to refresh my memory.
