Sew + Snip + Join = Sweater

You can download the graphs and pattern here. Be warned… in the words of Elizabeth Zimmemann, it’s a very “pithy” version. I was winging it as I went along.

tiny zig-zag instead of straight stitch because of the slippery factor in the acrylic. Twice for security.

Moment of truth… the cut.  Ugh.

So far, so good.  Heavy sigh of relief.

Happy, happy, joy, joy!

Part of the hem.  He’s named after my cousin’s dad (uh.. yea… I guess that would be my uncle) and they are going to call him by his middle name (Nels short for Nelson).  It’s on the hem along with a couple of hearts but I couldn’t figure out how to photo the whole hem at once.

    Jean, it’s a beautiful little sweater! Thanks for the pattern. If I learn to do color work, I need to start with something small and sweet.

    I haven’t knit a sweater yet, and wow…you cut one, too. I think I’d have died…lol. The finished sweater is beautiful and I am sure it will look wonderful on the recipient.

    Wow! I didn’t think you could steek acrylic! A few of us are getting together soon to cut our little teddy bear sweaters we made to try out our first sew and snip. We will call it a steekapoloza day!
