I’ve started on my second sleeve and I can see the end in sight. After this all I need to do is seam the sleeves to the body, pull a needle through all the live collar stitches and knit up six inches, line the center front with applied i-cord and insert a zipper! That’s a lot of work but I’m pretending it’s not for the sake of being cheerful!

This is cute, but how do you stand to knit with cotton? Is the blend enough to take away the crazy pain it causes?

Please update us on the applied I cord at the center front thing when you get there. Unless you have already and I missed it…

Splatgirl – I glossed over it for the last sweater. I mention a few sources this post, I used the Knitter’s Book of Finishing Techniques, this page at Streets and YOs, and this video at Knitting at Noon. It took a while, but the finished look is very nice, and it gives you something to grab onto when you’re pulling on the sweater or getting ready to zip it up.
Jennie – I cannot wear wool, and it feels very scratchy and hot when I knit with it, so I knit with cotton instead. It isn’t as pleasant as knitting with something with a lot of give, but I don’t find it painful.
