Almost There

I've been working on the sweater for the whole month of January. Luckily, the submission date has been moved up once again. Now it is February 5th, and I think that's pretty firm. I still need to finish the wrist bands and weave in all the ends. Also, I am not sure about closures. When I put this on, it hangs nicely, so I'm not sure if anything is really needed. A belt, perhaps? I will leave that decision until later. I really need to step away for awhile and come back with fresh eyes.

I left all the loose ends out, so I could unravel, and I'm glad I did. I needed to pull off the sleeves and reknit them from the armholes. I think it will take hours to weave all those threads into the garment!

These colors work so well together!

Thank you @fiberfrau! I know you have a great sense of color, so it’s good to hear that from you. 🙂

This has turned out so amazing. It is beautiful, the colors work so well together and the pattern looks so intricate. You have done a great job pulling this together.
Where are you submitting it to?
No closure looks fine, alternately, some kind of simple wooden toggle buttons might look cute.

I really do think your idea of a toggle might work for the sweater. Thanks @jamethiel!

Your sweater looks really beautifully made and so so evenly knitted.
I can sympathize with the weaving of the threads at the end, it can take quite a bit of time...

It may be so evenly knitted because I used a knitting machine for the body. The bands I did by hand, and they took me so long to do! Still, a lot more hand work awaits me. 🙂 Thanks!

At the end of the day it doesn't matter whether it's machine or hand work, as long as it looks great on a person who's wearing it!

Ye, the finishing part can be a bit hard...
All the best with it!

Beautiful job! :)

Thanks @lightsavior! I’m taking a break from it for a few days. Then I’ll dive back in and finish it up. 🙂

Do you want to remake the sleeves? Are you uncomfortable in them? I like the sweater as it is without buttons. the belt is very well suited

@kimmac | Jan. 29, 2019, 10:59 p.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

Thanks! I remade the sleeves about a week ago. I think I’m probably going to keep it simple. @jamiethiel suggested toggles. I’m going to try just one or two.
I also was thinking about ties, but I think over time they’ll stretch out the bands.
I appreciate your input because I am still needing to make those decisions.
