It's done! The colors remind me of the sky here in Western Washington.

I think it was Sue who suggested that sewing on the completed front bands would be a pita and I agreed. I picked up and knit garter stitch and did eyelet buttonholes. Once I finally got the spacing right on the buttonholes* ... piece of cake! Garter stitch around the neck. She tried it on several times as it was in progress so the fit is to her liking. Thank you, one and all, for making it possible.

*For me the one ugly truth about knitting is that being able to figure out some basic math helps immensely and math and I just don't mesh.

Thank you.

Anything is possible, it's just that sometimes we reach the destination in different ways. I keep working with patterns and I can do it, it just requires such concentration that it makes my head hurt. If you successfully knit with patterns and like what you do, what else matters? I trust your realize by now that there really is only one right way to knit and that's the way the works best for you! If knittin' ain't fun, knittin' ain't for me.
