I still need to graft the undersides of the sleeves (That sounds nicer than ‘armpits’, I think) and weave in a few ends, but it’s basically done! I wanted to get a picture while it was light.
I used Elizabeth Zimmermann’s sewn bind off on the neck and it’s wonderful. It’s stretchy without being sloppy, which is what always happened when I’d bind off normally but on larger needles. I really like it!
It’s mostly Wool-Ease worsted and the green is some superwash merino Zib gave me.
Pattern from Knitting Without Tears, but it’s very much like this one from last winter’s knitty. Stripes randomly generated by the Random Stripe Generator.
Modifications: Decreases were SSK last two body stitches, k first sleeve stitch, k2tog two sleeve stitches at every sleeve corner marker every other row, and I didn’t keep count but just started the neck when I ran out of sleeve stitches.
