My current work in progress:

Stornoway, designed by Alice Starmore from her book Fishermen’s Sweaters, knit in Frangipani 5-ply guernsey wool in the Aran colorway, on a 3.0mm needle.

Second Sleeve

June 19, 2016 By

The winner of my review copy of Rugged Knits: 24 Practical Projects for Everyday Living by Andrea Rangel is Jen R., who has been emailed. Thanks to everyone who left a comment.

I am making good progress on Kinsale. I finished the first sleeve and have attached it to the body. I picked up stitches along the body edge and then attached the sleeve via a three-needle bind-off. Because I did raised exposed shoulder seams, I did the same for the sleeve seam:

Then I sewed up the side seam and sleeve seam using a mattress stitch:

I am working along on the second sleeve and should have it done in a few days.

Loki was a big help in the seaming — he sat on the end table and watched!

    Your work is lovely as always. I wish I lived in a cooler clime so that I might knit and wear similar garments. Florida is too hot for most knits!

    I’m sure Loki’s attentive observation was the key to a beautiful mattress seam. His oversight of all your work is truly magic – your Kinsale is turning out lovely.

    Love the color! When doing cables and intricate work a solid white is so great. I wish to make one very much like it one day. I love wearing hand knits too.

    Very pretty. You are so industrious. I’m afraid I’m congenitally incapable of working on just one project at a time. Worse, when I come to a tough part, my typical response is to start another project, and then to slow waaaay down on the first one.
