Alternatively titled, "Just take a Deep Breath and finish the Damn Sweater!" Beki has put me to shame,finishing this sweater even though she started it after me, and has worked on tons of other craft projects at the same time (She made hers short sleeve; mine is long. That would have made it easier for me, but I wouldn't have worn it much).
After ripping it back and adding some rows to the upper torso, I've been working on it bit by bit (obviously not enough). I sit down to knit a few rows on that arm, do about 10, and then put it down for a few days. It's a terribly boring knit, but I love simplicity, and I know I will love the sweater when it's finished.
Yesterday I finally tried it on (sorry for the crappy bathroom lighting), and was happy to discover that I only have a couple of inches to go to finish that left arm.
I'm trying to decide how I'm going to finish the sleeves and torso bottom. I'm not sure I want to do the same stitch as the neckline, I'd like it a little looser and casual. I thought of just binding off and letting it curl naturally, but that might be too casual. Another idea I had was to get to the bottom, do 1 row of purl and then 2 rows of knit, so it would have the curl, but not so much.
Any other ideas? Has anyone tried what I'm thinking of doing? How has it worked out? I'd love to know!
