My adventure with the steek is nearly finished.YEAH!
I am glad my Bernina sewing machine was not troubled with sewing knitwear.
I used a dark gray thread, it gave me enough contrast, yet stayed invisible.
The really scary part! Scissors!!Two afternoon later, I have two sleeves and armholes on my jumper. It was a lot of sewing. First the sleeves, then the sleeve facing to cover up the cutting lines. It does make the armholes feel heavy. I am not sure how it's going to drape.
I have also sewn on the zip, it's the first time I used the sewing machine to sew a zip onto a handknit.
So far I have not sewn the collar on. It has been dark and gloomy here. I feel I need bright sunlight to sew the black collar on.
I also noticed I have not finished all the embroidery.
My Dad's hats are finished. Waiting for some sunshine to photograph. I went to a new knitting group and the ladies there were impressed with the hats.
At the moment I am low with an ear infection. It's very painful, do hope the medicine will start to work soon.
