Fiber Arts Friday: Crazy Funky Grandpa Cardigan, part 4

Here in Episode #4, I have joined the two fronts with the back.

First everything is on the needles.

Then everything is joined, armpit increases are completed, and everything is facing the correct way with no twisting.

It's doesn't look much different than Part 3, but I feel this is a significant accomplishment.  WooHoo!

Happy Fiber Arts Friday!

Fiber Arts Friday: Crazy Funky Grandpa Cardigan, part 3

In part 3, I have completed the LEFT Upper Front.

Next step is joining all three of these pieces and to begin working on the Lower Body.  Eek.

Happy Fiber Arts Friday!

Fiber Arts Friday: Crazy Funky Grandpa Cardigan, part 2

In this edition we are covering the first Shoulder Saddle and Upper Front...

It took me a bit to get this section started... the instructions talk about the RIGHT Upper Front... but to my tired brain, the stitch instructions looked like they were for the LEFT Upper Front... Anyway, the instructions are correct and I was confused, so I have a slight start on the LEFT Upper Front, but below is the RIGHT Upper Front.

The managing of this portion of the project has been an exercise in keeping the details straight... between the two cakes, all of the rolling pieces, and the changing increases.... I've been keeping detailed notes for each of the smallest instruction sections... which seems to be working thus far.

It is sort of funny to me that the above photo WILL turn into a sweater.  LOL!

Happy Fiber Arts Friday!
