Now, as I confessed to my knitting group on Sunday, I've never made a human sweater. I've been knitting for about 10 years, and I've made lots of blankets, dishcloths, scarves, socks, a market bag, a backpack, and even a teeny-tiny doggie sweater, but never a sweater for a person. Part of the problem is that I hate to seam. Also I'm scared, because a sweater actually needs to fit to some degree, unlike a blanket or a scarf which can come out any old size and still be okay. Gail reminded me that there are sweater patterns out there which require little or no seaming. The "Frock Camisole" pattern is mostly knitted in the round, and assuming I make it that far, I will only need to attach the straps in the back. It also looks pretty loose-fitting in the picture, so I am hoping there's room for error as far as sizing goes. It's a pretty simple pattern and I've already completed about and inch and a half. I will post pictures of my progress soon...
