I’ve primarily been focusing on my Arrowhead cardigan. I’ve steeked the front, and am close to the cuff on the sleeves. After that, there will only be finishing left to do! I expect that will take me a week or two, as there are facings in addition to cuff and neckline ribbing to knit. I am really looking forward to finishing and wearing this cardi!
Hurrah! In the home stretch on this beauty!

This one could become an heirloom. I especially like the color combination.

It looks so good! (Even if steeks still freak me out a little.)

I’ve only done one sweater with steeks, so even though I know intellectually that there’s no issue as long as you do it right and use the right yarn, I still have a little worry when I see knitting and scissors in the same picture. 😉

What is steeking???

It’s cutting the knitting to divide it for the front opening, or for armholes.

Are you cutting thru what has already been knit? won’t it come apart? Apparently not!

You secure the stitches with machine stitching or crochet (I prefer machine) so they don’t unravel.

It’s going to be so fabulous when finished, I bet people ask you about it when you finally get to wear it. I hope it stays cool enough in March to get some wear.

Oh my gosh! This makes me so nervous. I have never done steeking, and not sure that I ever could, but I have seen your sweater after the steeking and it looks so beautiful. You are so brave and applaud anyone that can cut their knitting 😉

You get used to it. It helps that this Lopi wool is sticky. I don’t think I have the guts to steek superwash.
