Upon starting the Jacob on the Body of my Save our Sheep Sweater, I decided that the grey Jacob breed band on the sleeves would be shorter and the Black Welsh Mountain breed band would be longer. This has to do with the placements of the Navajo Lines and the fact that I wanted the sleeves to be about two inches longer.
Then after continuing the sleeves, I decided that I did not want the extra bulk of the Navajo Lines at my wrists.... but I really like the delineation between the field of the sleeve and the cuff. So I put two lines of Hog Island where the Navajo Lines would have gone...
I finished the first sleeve on Monday, January 2, 2023 and the second on Saturday, January 29th, 2023.
I'm always impressed by the depth of black when I work with the Black Welsh Mountain.... what an incredible and naturally-occurring color.
Remaining now is to make the Button Band (which I've not done before), Kitchener the armpits closed, weave in the ends, and sew on the buttons. It still sounds like a lot, but I am getting closer to the end.
Happy Fiber Arts Friday!
Looks great!!
