You Knit What??
Ok, that's just nasty. At least that's what they said... I actually happen to like this sweater... very much!
I just love you knit what?? because when it doesn't make me laugh with the loads of monstruosity the fiber world hosts 'and believe me, it does!), it gives me tons of inspiration! great blog!
invisible end
A great way to finish the last row and make the last stitch perfectly similar to the others : try the hidden ends method !
no-sew-sweater v1.0
I tried to make a sweater imitating the style of the baby it's cold outside jacket featured in Crochet me magazine, except, I didn't want to make a jacket, just a sweater with as little sewing as possible.I intended to crochet from bottom back to bottom front with an increase for the sleeves and a hole for the collar, the finished fabric would have the shape of a cross.
I had a few problems...
First it looks like my daughter grew A LOT while I was constructing it, but it was ok, I improvised sides to widen it while attaching the sides of the sweater and I thought I would just lengthen the arms afterwards with a contrasting yarn.
Then it looked like the space I left in order to crochet a collar was much too HUGE, I tried to narrow it later, but it was just a hot mess.
