All Done

The end of June and the beginning of July got out of hand; my DH had surgery and I've been taking care of him. Though I finished the Yellow Lace, this is my first chance to post it.

The buttonbands are a traditional 1x1 rib, picked up along the steek edge and knitted. Buttonholes were knit in a bind-off-two-stitches on one row then cast-on-two-stitches on the return row. Since I didn't like the looseness of them, I edged the butttonholes with a blanket stitch.

After the button bands were knit on, the steeks were crochet-chained then cut and whip stitched down. Makes a lovely finish.

And so, fini! I love this sweater, from the color to the fit. Gotta love those Bohus designers!
