Finishing by randystreat

Finishing

My project for today was to try and finish a sweater I made for a friend. Some sewing of seams and to finish the neckline and voilà it will be done.
I envy you! The cardigan I am knitting for my daughter is far from being finished, the fine coton is a challenge for me to knit. I am so slow!
I like your close up, it talks to my heart as I like yarn and fabric crafts

Wow! That was fast! I love the choice of composition for this and the story that it tells!

@corinnec Thank you. Cotton is hard to knit with. It either drags on the needles or it slides too easily. No stretch, so hard on the hands too. Good luck. Knitting is the hobby I enjoy the most. I want to finish this sweater before the end of October.
@grammyn Over a month. I spend a lot of time knitting instead of doing the things I should be doing. Cuts into my photography time too. Thanks Katy.

@randystreat it didn’t seem like that long to me but I guess it did to you!

I like the perspective

Lovely gift. Love the way you included the tools in the photo.

Nice image of your work in progress.

That looks like very nice yarn

I'll bet it looks fantastic, what a good friend you are!

@will_wooderson Thanks Will
@julie Appreciate that Julie.
@wakelys Thanks Sue.
@pyrrhula Thank you for saying so Ferry.
@jeanniec57 Thank you very much. I tend not to set up my photos well at times and was glad this one turned out ok.
@grammyn When I work on a big project I always want to start something else. So because I'm anticipating the next one, it does seem like a long time.
@joemuli You flatter me Joey but thank you.
@bkbinthecity Thanks Brian.
@potsbypam Thank you Pam.
@shutterbug49 Thanks Debbie. I've noticed in other photos the tools help tell the story.
@jamibann Thank you Issi.
@kjarn The loopy, fuzzy boucle yarn is difficult to work with sometimes. The needle gets caught in the fibers and the loops can get caught and make the tension looser than planned at times. It's very soft though and the sweater will be fun to wear for my friend. @pusspup I hope so. Maybe I'll get her to model it and post a photo. Thank you Wylie.

If you are enjoying yourself it is time well spent.

Can’t wait to see the finished product! I like how you composed all the necessary items to finish. Nice still life.

Lovely cosy sweater can’t be beaten!
October 22nd, 2021  
That looks like it will be such a joy to wear- soft, comfy and cozy! I'm sure your friend will love it. The color is beautiful too.

Lovely pov and tones.

@tunia This is the part I don't like Tunia. Often people knit sweaters on circular needles so they don't have to do so much hand seaming. Just seemed like a good time to do it.
@jb030958 Not getting back to it as quickly as I'd hoped. Life gets in the way and "life" right now is not a bad thing. Hopefully it will be done before the end of the week. Thanks Jennie.
@craftymeg You're right Margaret. Especially when it's just the right weight.
@olivetreeann Thank you so much Ann. I do hope she'll enjoy wearing it. She likes it so far. I made her try it on basted together to ensure it fit ok.
@haskar Thank you Hannah.
October 23rd, 2021  
What a cool talent you have! Lucky friend too!

@catcarter19 Thanks. It's one that I've been doing for many years. My mom taught me when I was a kid.
October 26th, 2021  
Love the color of your whoop and your composition

@cocobella Thank you Corinne. I have enough leftover to make something else.
