| Portland, with the hand Handbook of Aran Sweater Design (J. Szabo) |
I have the first sleeve of Portland done to the saddles. As I said earlier, I left the front and back "live" so I could do a perpendicular join. While I don't hate seaming (actually, I sorta love the mattress stitch), I find perpendicular seams to be annoying. This is a handy way of doing saddles so I won't have to seam them.
Janet Szabo has several fabulous booklets that I highly recommend for not only making seaming easier, but not have to seam at all. The
I Hate Finishing Sweaters Guide to Finishing Sweaters is a handy reference, as is the
Handbook of Aran Sweater Design (this has been updated to
Aran Sweater Design, both excellent books). Probably the most used reference books in my library.
