Well....as promised here are my pictures. The blue sweater is for 'lil Fredward. I am still searching for a zipper. I think I am going to have to custom order. If that doesn't work...well...we'll just have to see. I still have a little time before I have to worry too much about that!!! And then there is the Aran sweater for Henry! I have a ways to go but ,I just sewed the back to the front. Still haven't figured out the front opening. The directions are a bit weird. Knit 7 stitches ribbed for 5 cm and then sew in? What's with that! I may have to improvise! For now I'm working on the sleeves. I find that when I'm stumped to just go on to another part of the sweater and think about the confusing part. This is the first raglan sleeve sweater I've made and I must admit I'm not thrilled with raglan sleeves! The pattern part of the sweater was easy but reducing for the raglan sleeve and trying to make the pattern come out...well lets just say I ripped the back out quite a few times! I'm glad that's done! Ta da!!
