I added life lines. Carefully read and re-read the instructions. Then joined the sleeves to the body of my Plumber Sweater...
...and it was no big deal.
This sweater is officially the largest item I've ever knitted... I'm up to skein #8 of 12.
As of today, I have completed the first decrease, so I feel like I might actually finish this project one day. I only have about 7 inches to go. :-)
I am travelling over the next couple of weeks and the sweater is now too big to come along. Which means the progress will slow down a lot, but I am very happy to be this far.
Happy Fiber Arts Friday and Happy December. Please head over to Wisdom Begins in Wonder to see some great fiber arts.

Wow great progress! You've come along so far from your first post on it. I can't wait to see the finished product.
Have safe travels this holiday seaon.
Looking good! Video tutorials have often saved many of my knitting projects!
Hooray, it looks great! Everyone's knitting sweaters. I need to jump on that bandwagon. :)
Looks wonderful! You've inspired me to get to a project I just keep thinking about and not getting to: replacing my favorite brown sweater. It was pretty basic, great to throw on and go anywhere, easy to knit, wonderful yarn, yadda, yadda, and then it caught on fire. Yup fire.
I think the pattern you're using would make a great replacement.
Yay! You are just growing by leaps and bounds with this project!
It is so pretty! Your progress has been inspiring to watch on this one... You're making sweaters not such a scary knit project for me. Yay!
Great job! Yes, seven inches does seem like it's attainable after all the knitting you've done. You can do it. I know what you mean about not taking it for travel. It's a carry on all by itself.
Happy Fiber Arts Friday!
Thanks all.
It's really been an easy project... very much like a big hat. A very big hat. So I think it's more about determination than anything. Maybe I should change it's name to my Determination Sweater. lol.
@Inspiration Fibers - your favorite sweater caught on fire??
I really like the color of your sweater and that is a great pattern. Can't wait to see it modeled. I know you can do it!
