Perhaps in your mind a sweater is not finished until it is blocked. That is usually my opinion as well. However, as I sewed in the last stray end after finishing the ribbing
three needle bind off for the facing
Finished - Front View
Finished - back view
Normally I would wait until after it is blocked before I called it complete. However, I have this jaunt to Germany tomorrow and I am going to wear it. Blocking will come later. It will happen since the bottom hem has to be pounded into submission. I should have made the facing a bit longer. oh, well….
Wow! Fantastic sweater. OK, I’m impressed!! Enjoy wearing it. I fear sweater season is over chez nous.
I want one too!
Seriously Holly, I love it… but my ancestors were Norsemen so what can you expect?
Might consider sending you the pattern. You could do it yourself!
Wow! That sweater turned out beautifully! I have the pattern but have been intimidated by it. Maybe one day.
Holly, check out The March Sweater Madness site. We’re at it again.
Any chance you still have your Viking ship sweater dragon sleeve charts available?
I would love to use them. I’m doing a double knit version – https://www.ravelry.com/projects/elinmel/viking-boat-jacket
