S4 is complete!

Mom has been visiting this week and Great Gran talked us all into running down to Mary Esther to spend the night. Our little vacation gave me time to turn this:

Into this:

And it only took two hours! I really like to seam things up. Now the S4 is blocking on the bedroom floor. Yes, I seamed before I blocked. I usually do it the other way around: block, then seam, then steam the seams into flatness. But because I wasn’t at home, I took a chance. I predict that it will take the next three years to dry but other than that, things will be OK. In the meantime, I will swatch for Haiti.

Just as an aside:
You shouldn’t publish a knitting pattern that requires crochet skills to finish. That’s just misleading. And hard for those of us who don’t really understand how to tie knots with one stick instead of two. Luckily, I have a grandmother who does…
