Sleeves and a surprisingly good fastening!
March 16, 2005
I am now working on Roxie's sleeves. The furry trim on the sleeves is almost twice as thick as on the body, so it took me ages (and a TON of yarn) to do, but now I'm zooming away up the first sleeve:
That photo looks pretty good on my laptop but rubbish on my work computer, just totally black - I'm having trouble photographing the colour because it's a dark shade maybe?
And in the foreground on the notebook you can see the fastening I bought yesterday. In the shop I went to they didn't have much haberdashery, and the only hook and eye fastenings were either small and metal, or large and dark brown - LUCKY! So it matches Roxie perfectly. I can't wait to finish!

I have Big Just Got Bigger and Roxie is one of my faves in there (just need money for the yarn!). I quite like the loops, for some reason, as the cut ends are a little shaggy. Yours looks really good!

I think this sweater is going to look great. I haven't seen the pattern, but I like the loops too. Can't wait to see the finished project!
