Block n' Roll



This has been a bear to block. I am trying to get the edges as flat as possible and am struggling. It's difficult to see any detail in this picture- the yarn is pretty fuzzy. I am about half-way finished with the other front and then I can do the edges, sew up the seams, slap on some nice leather buttons and be done with it. This has been a tougie. Actually it's been a yawner. It's big, it's grey and has no fun cables or lace patterns. Just lots of stockinette. Yaawn. Done on #4 needles with DK weight, it has gone painfully slow. It will be so worth it and I know it will look great on the giftee.
