I finished the knitting on Marcus sweater. There are still a myriad of ends to weave in and the sides to sew up but the knitting is complete. I can finish the last bits evenings watching movies.
I completed the neckband only moments ago. I wanted to show how I made the pockets. At first I thought I would knit two ordinary pockets but the more I thought about that, the more I wasn't happy with it. I ended up making a bunny hug type pouch that went from the top of the slits down to the start of the ribbing. I picked up stitches across the 'M' and picked up along the pocket opening sides each row
and then as I went down below the pocket opening, just picked up in the same row all the rest of the way down. Along the bottom, I picked up and bound off the pocket lining with first row of ribbed stitches. It looks very tidy and neat.
I am pretty pleased with the way the whole project worked out and I only hope Marcus likes it as much as I liked knitting it.
