Leo, Finally
And now that I have my camera again, here come the latest FO pictures (kind of). I say kind of because neither is really finished, but would, in an ideal world, be finished.
First and finally, Leo:
This sweater is not half as bad as I thought it was going to be when I tried it on him with only one side seamed up. In fact, the fit is pretty close to perfect except that the sleeves are a little puffy, like he is Little Lord Faulkner or something in certain positions. This might be corrected with some strategic blocking, but I haven't decided yet, because if you look you can see that part of the cause is that the inset sleeves are simply not inset enough - particularly interesting because I actually inset the sleeves about twice as much as the pattern called for. So I'm trying to decide if I should try blocking it out first before resorting to ripping back the shoulders and making them more narrow, or if I should just make them more narrow since that is what I "should" do since that would be the "correct" way to fix it. Regardless, Dan is a big fan of the sweater and has been wearing it around a lot at home - making him officially delightful to knit for because he loves my handmade garments even when they're not exactly perfect.
