Knitting a bottom up sweater at the moment and trying it on is a lot more challenging! <br /><br />Look forward to seeing it finished!<br /><br />xx<br /><br />SolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04822717938404621158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8595498229145666793.post-69494060647876445562016-02-01T19:19:02.907+00:002016-02-01T19:19:02.907+00:00Looking lovely so far, the colour suits you so wel...Looking lovely so far, the colour suits you so well!Tahneehttp://www.woollenwilderness.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8595498229145666793.post-86866878704671462892016-01-28T13:28:56.037+00:002016-01-28T13:28:56.037+00:00Hi Nadia, exactly!

It's the unknown that's scary, isn't it? Here's to facing our knitting fears in 2016! :) xBeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04235597034582983202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8595498229145666793.post-45568328834422235872016-01-28T13:26:56.569+00:002016-01-28T13:26:56.569+00:00Hi Sarah, thank you - that's very encouraging!...Hi Sarah, thank you - that's very encouraging!

" That is exactly how I feel right now as well. I'm still knitting my jumper, but it is nearly there. I am a few inches away from the hem and then have the sleeves left to do. <br /><br />Being able to try your knitting on as you go is ideal. I'm still worried about my hip increases, though, and won't know if they are right until I finish. Scary! I don't want to undo it all the way up to the waist again because I intend to finish the jumper by mid-March. I better hurry!<br /><br />Good luck with the neck and button band!

If you have done button bands for a baby sweater, then you've got this- it's just bigger, but basically the same!
