Preparing a FairIsle Norwegian Jumper: All Pain and very little Gain

 

Well I've done all the fun bits of the jumper (i.e. the actual knitting) , and after a long period of just looking at the pattern, sighing, and then putting it down again I have decided to start on the decorative stitching, the blocking, cutting a steek and finishing the collar.

 

Scary stuff.  I've put some tutorials up here, mainly just for me to be able to find easily.   

 

 

 

There's a good tutorial for cutting a steek (this is where you baste a line either side of where you want to cut arm holes in your jumper).  Very scary stuff.  I honestly don't know if I'll be able to cut into my jumper without doing a little girly scream, I'll let you know. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I've also found a daggy tutorial on blocking jumpers

 

 

 

Wish me luck!!
