We'll miss them immensely. Sioux Falls is only a four hour drive. Georgia will take a bit longer, but we'll get there!
Anyway, there was lots of road knitting time.
The Lopi sweater reached the point of steeking. Tonight I took it to the sewing room.
See the two purled stitches in the center? That's where I'll sew.
Two rows of stitching. I prefer to use a small zig zag stitch - it catches more yarn.
I cut carefully between the two lines of stitching.
Now it's ready for adding the button band and collar!
These were some of the colors I auditioned for the contrast on this sweater. I ended up sticking to my original choice.
But if I want more Lopi knitting, now I'm ready!

OK. Not sure what steeking is, but it looks absolutely terrifying.
Georgia is a great place to visit relatives. Hope they have a guest room!!
