Note to self: next time you wing it on a sweater, make sure the neck fits over the head of the recipient before doing the final rib and bind-off. Having to rip back after weaving in the ends semi-invisibly is especially annoying.

Shipped!
July 5, 2008 in TKGA
Today was the day I finally shipped the TKGA Master Hand Knitting Level 1 box off to Zanesville, Ohio. I opted for the 10 business day postal dlivery at $21 rather than the 1 day at $90+, given that it will take 6-8 weeks for me to get the results anyway. So that means I [...]

The pattern as written works up to 16″ unstretched, which I [...]

It is - do you have any pictures of the sweater-in-progress? I admire your dedication to the noble cause; so far I have firmly resisted the siren call of spinning, and have no intention of raising the animals either, though I admire those who do.
