The First Cut

 

I found the time this weekend to start the process of turning this heap of knitting into a sweater. 

First up was the sleeve steeks. So far so good. 

Before I could sew up the shoulders I have to steek the neckline. I used the neckline of a sweater I wear a lot in the winter as a guide.

I used a basting thread to mark out where it should go but that's as far as I got. I need to think about it for awhile and then come back with fresh eyes. This could go badly pretty quickly so I'm not going to rush it.
