I finally finished!

I have been working on this sweater for about a month now, and if you know anything about machine knitting you know that is a long time for a sweater.  Since I only get to work on it after work and on the weekends I think I did pretty good time wise.  I really like the way it came out.

What do you think???

The Front





The back

I know it would have been so much easier to not do cables on the back, but I have always thought that a nice cabled front deserves something on the back.

As you can see, I didn't do the cabling all the way down the sweater I flipped the material so I would have the texture of the purl side and then I did a simple little tuck before ending with a 2x1 ribbbing.

The collar and sleeve hems are knitted in seed stitch - another reason I didn't want to do that part on the machine.

Now that I have finished it up, I just have to find it a home.
