stitches have been cut.
I know I've been a tease about finally getting around to cutting the steeks on the cotton Dale baby sweater I've been working on for AGES. But last night, stitches were finally cut. Did you hear the screams?
Step One: Pour a stiff drink, just in case things don't go well.
Step Two: sew, sew, sew
Step Three: Take a deep breath... and... CUT!
Step Four: Admire and pray. Even if you don't believe in prayer. Pray anyway.
Step Five: Bask in moment of triumph. Go get drink from Step One, you'll need it.
Step Six: Realize moment of triumph will be followed by joyless hours of seaming, weaving in, and still more sewing and cutting, then picking up for neckband and button band, and just be content to get one sleeve done.
Beautiful! I have a Dale baby sweater I started when my daughter was 2. She is now 9. I've been waiting for the courage to cut.
