The leg warmers I made for last winter

The work in progress

When I learnt to knit from the both much-loved and highly understandable Stitch and Bitch it said that knitters hate the sewing the pieces together bit at the end.  My first thought was that I love sewing so that won't be me at all.  But lo and behold the first garment that involved sewing seams sat in my cupboard for 6 months before I dragged them out again last night.


I was already knackered, and sewing up wasn't going to be the easy job I thought, turns out there's actual techniques to learn.  So obvious when I thought about it.  But in my new slow and steady wins the race approach to garment making I decided to sew the ends of the wool in over a couple of nights and get my head round sewing it up (immediately) after that.
