FO - Iceland Lopi "Lappi" child's sweater
I'm giving this one away today so I figured I'd need to take a pic of it. It's from the Lopi pattern book #25 - called "Lappi" and I used Paton's Classic Wool. The baby shower (baby girl due in February) is this afternoon and I'm thinking the sweater will fit in a couple years. Oh well. Learning to steek and cut up the front was a challenge but I'm glad I did it. Getting that done and sewing in the zipper was the most challenging part of the whole project.

Great knitting, Frank.
Great knitting, Frank. Whenever I attempt to steek (and I won't even attempt to guess when) I hope I remember your fine work as encouragement. -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.
Beautiful. Well done!

I'm in awe, Frank! Fantastic job with all aspects. Truly inspirational! Steeking still scares me - but I'll do it one day.
That is a charming sweater.
That is a charming sweater. Great colour. Isn't it wonderful you steeked and sewed in a zipper? You now have two new techniques under your belt.
Yes!! I'm glad I did it
Yes!! I'm glad I did it although I can't say I welcome the opportunity again. Maybe steeks for armholes but I'm not so sure about for a cardigan zipper. :-)
Great job Frank! I bet you
