Some of our local knitters are getting to an interesting part of their projects- they’re almost done! So then it’s on the to next step, finishing. That’s one of those love/hate things- some people like to do the sewing, others will go to great lengths to avoid it.
There are small sweaters to get sewn
Blue Baby Sweater
this is a nice hooded sweater, it will be cuddly.
Green Toddler Sweater
Barbara has been working on this for a while- it’s finally ready to get sewn together. Knit out of Cashsoft, it’s just right for her year old nephew to wear this winter, and maybe next.
And there are larger garments to sew
Gray Linen Top
Arlene is sewing the sleeves into her gray linen top. She’s pinning them in place to make it easier to sew.
Of course, some garments are knit all in one piece, so no sewing!
Noro Bolero
This little top is knit from the top down, with raglan sleeves. Increase along the raglan “seam” lines, knit the sleeves in the round, and then the rest of the body, ending with the ruffle. No sewing!
And the latest sample neckwarmer
Toby Neck Tube
The Toby Neck Tube is knit in the round, on a 24 inch circular needle. Inspired by all the cowls, neckwarmers, and tubes in the stores; the sample is knit in the round. Of course, the “we love to sew” crowd can knit it flat and seam the end.
