Frankenpeysa Sleeves!

With the winter break, I’ve been able to really make lots of progress on my knitting (and since I’m cat-sitting, there’s been a kitty to assist me)

So now, I have the trunk and the sleeves done! All I need to do now is join them and work the yoke. Hooray!

This is how sleeves are born

It will look something like this… except it will have both sleeves, and have a yoke, and be connected…

Stage One of the Frankenpeysur Complete

Well, I have completed stage one of the Frankenpeysur! That is to say, the trunk. I’ve finished knitting the trunk up to 40cm long. According to the pattern, this means now I have to knit the sleeves and then knit them in. Wooooo-hoo!

Since this practice peysa has been going well, I went ahead and ordered the lopi to make an actual lopapeysa.

I’m afraid I don’t have anything more exciting to update everybody on. We got a new couch, which I suppose is… sort of exciting?
