The Kauni cardigan is ready to have the sleeve steeks cut.
The sleeve stitches will be picked up around the steek and knit down to the cuff.
I've always sewn my steeks on the sewing machine, as I did last week for the Lopi cardigan.
For this cardigan, I've decided to try a crochet steek. I took the instructions from Meg Swansen's Sweaters from Camp . On the interwebs, a really good tutorial is on Euny Jang's old blog, See Euny Knit.
The visible yellow is the crocheted steek.
And I'm late to the party. This is a great way to steek! Why have I never tried this before?!
Look at that nice neat edge after I've cut. I'm very pleased! This a technique I'll permanently add to my repertoire.
Here's the newest colorway from the crockpot.
Yes, I can use something other than blues and greens!
Personal growth? Perhaps, but not of a very important variety. But I'll take it wherever it comes...
Hey Minnesotans! Did you all have this fabulous sunrise today?
There was a column of light extended far into the sky. Gorgeous.
I didn't take the camera with me to work. I tried to take a pic with my cell phone with very little success.
Paul took this photo before he left for work. Like I said, I'm going to have to wrestle him for the camera!
