Almost
It has been nice to have a little rest from blogging (and knitting). I've been doing a few odds and ends, but my hands were really tired from the last weekend of the Olympics. Cutaway is seamed (yippee!) and just needs another blocking and the ends woven in. My bind off on the ribbing was a little tight, so I'm hoping a good soak will relax it and help the fronts of the cardigan lay flat. The sleeves are the perfect length, but I would like the body of the sweater to be a little longer -- can I do that in blocking after it's been seamed?
I'm headed off to visit some high school friends this weekend in Missouri's capitol, Jefferson City. We are going to catch up and maybe hit the outlet malls -- maybe I'll do a Cutaway photo shoot, too! See you on Monday!

I can't wait. Depending on the yarn, you should be able to get a bit more length on the body without too much trouble. The bind off might not relax though - try it and see. Have a great weekend.

Welcome back! They say blocking can do miracles on knits, so do let us know if you witnessed any yourself! Have a great time this weekend. Mmmmmmm outlet malls!

I should probably clarify - I think it ABSOLUTELY is heartbreaking to kids to lose their parents. I used the word "suddenly" before the word "heartbreaking." As in, they don't see this and it's instantly shocking, like we do. This is everyday for many of them. I should have been more clear on that. Thanks.
