Losing the Mithril<\/a> sleeve gave me impetus to finish this long-simmering project before something else happened.\u00a0 The sleeve had only the cap to complete, so I was done in no time.\u00a0 I still have to sew the shoulders together and knit the neckline, which means blocking after that is done.\u00a0 But the best thing about knitting a sweater in pieces is the chance to block every piece flat, just once.\u00a0 So, I did.<\/p>\n

\"blocking\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Front\"<\/a>The locking marker at the base of the neck marks the held live sts to be picked up.\u00a0 The textured cable is a major feature of the design, and my favorite part to knit, so I am looking forward to doing that.\u00a0 Then I’ll need to block the sweater again, but that will be easy, and the sweater pieces will be a breeze to seam now that they are blocked well.\u00a0 Definitely worth the small amount of effort.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finishing Mithril will need to wait, though, because I am headed to Stitches MidWest today!\u00a0 It will be my first time at that event, and I am very excited to see old friends and meet new ones.<\/p>\n

\"maples\"<\/a>Travel knitting is a test-knit for a Book project.\u00a0 The very last test-knit, which is a mite sad.\u00a0 But it is a very special design, created by one of my favorite people on the planet, so it is an honor and a joy to be knitting it.\u00a0 Consider this a sneaky peek into the Book! ( I know, it’s not much.\u00a0 More is coming, I promise!)<\/p>\n
