UFO out of the closet

My Green Sweater

I don't know why I stalled so long before completing the knitting on the sweater.  I can only guess that reading that it should be blocked before sewing together halted my progress.  I've always blocked afterwards, not in the process.  Also, I didn't think the color was all that great.  But like most projects, it looked better after it hasn't seen the light of day for a while.

The only knitting left was the back neck band.  I wasn't sure how to do this, but I did it today and hope to sew it tomorrow as well as sew in the sleeves.

The bottom of the sweater.  The stitch pattern I choose after swatching many was Arrow from Barbara Walkers 2nd Treasury.  It was knit with NatureSpun, 100% wool from the Brown Sheep Co.  I love knitting with wool.

Here is the cuff.  I took a portion of the Arrow pattern to add some interest to this portion of the sweater. I like how the sleeves fit and am glad it worked out with Sweater Wizard.
