The Next Thing

And done.


It is not five inches.  It clocks in at four, but the sweater length is right where I wanted it.  I did a try on and I really like it.  I can't wait for the sleeves to be complete. 

There is a limited amount of the grey.


It was a wee bit over half a skein.  I needed to get sleeve uppers and the neckband out of it.  Before I could divide it for sleeves, I needed to do the collar.  


 
In a sudden burst of knititude, the collar happened.  It will be folded over and sewn down during sweater finishing.  I opted to sew it rather than knitting the edge down as I cast off because when I tried that long ago, I found my knitting got too tight and it was much too easy to put the stitches together unevenly.  Sewing it only takes a moment.  

I also sewed on box 1 of 5.  It is a pretty simple process but getting it right takes some time.  The sizes are all custom based on the existing shelves, so there is a lot of measuring happening.  More sewing is going to happen today.  

 I got up a bit late this morning so I am running behind.  Coffee two needs to happen before anything else.
