\"IMG_1190\"<\/a>It’s been some time<\/a> since I’ve posted any progress on my Custom Fit<\/a> Harrogate sweater, but I finally have all four pieces off the needles. Yay! As you can see from the photo, I don’t have enough blocking squares, so I improvised with a folded towel in order to get them all done at once. I have to use our only table for this, so picking a good time is sometimes difficult. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Anyway, I’m obviously not finished yet. I still need to stitch all of the pieces together, of course, but I also have to do the neckline trim after that. Still, even with our very strange weather over the past few weeks, I won’t need to wear this until next fall\/winter. The original Harrogate<\/a> pattern has a crew neckline, but I’m not fond of that style, so I used CF to modify it to a boat neckline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
