Adelaide is done

All the ends are woven in, the armholes seamed up, and only the soaking and blocking are left.  I did, of course, try it on --- it fits like a dream!!!

I need to practice taking selfies, because all of them so far of me wearing this marvel are horrid.  So until the time I can get a decent pic, here are the latest.

The Yoke's on Me!

Well, almost, lol.  I've started the yoke pattern -- won't be long now.  :)

Body meets limbs

Yes!!!  I've reached the place where the body and the arms are now joined onto the same needle.  A few more rounds and some short row shaping, then onto the color yoke pattern.  Very excited!!

These 8 stitches on each underarm are the only seams to be had.  :)

the long slog ahead

So, it begins.  The sweater waistband is finished and the endless body knitting starts.  Round and round, and round and ........  but the yarn is scrumptious and I love it, won't be long before I can add the color back in.  

Progress

Both sleeves are done now, and I cast on for the body.  However, careful as I was, I still managed to twist the join, so had to rip out and start over.  lol, no big, I hadn't gotten very far before I noticed it. Knit on!

Sleeve #1 complete

What do you think of the colors?

It's a bit more vibrant than I had envisioned......lol.
