a) Hand model? No, don't think you'd trust 'em to cut your cardy.
b) Professional photographer friend? No, look like your photo-style.
c) Grown a third hand? Doubt it.
d) Timer? Then you're quite fast to pick up scissors before the 'click'.
e) Trade secret? Well, fair enough.
You have one of the most beautiful blogs on the net. Really inspiring (and quick!) work!!

But I'm with Cheryl, how did you get those pictures and cut the steek at the same time? ;)
it looks so satisfying somehow. i can just feel the yarn breaking under the shears...
I'm waiting with bated breath for a final modeled shot. I can scarcely contain my excitement. What a beauty.

I've been watching progress on the Cardi with bated breath..can I breathe out yet?
Going to have to turn that process over in my head a little and try to figure it out!

This is just amazing to see! You make me want to be brave enough to try this myself! Thank you for sharing. (c:

That is one of the most beautiful sweaters I have seen. Fantastic pattern and exquisite workmanship.
I love how you took several pictures as you made the one long cut! And not even a HINT of a tremor to your scissor-holding hand! Thank you, as always, for the great photographs.
Wow, that's all I can say. I've never really felt the need to do a massively cabled aran-style sweater, but suddenly I feel a need to knit one Right Now.
You are a brave man. I'm interested to see how the chain looks when it's turned under, I usually yse the sewing machine to steek. The cab;ey goodness of that sweater is awesome.
Right, so I start to wonder, looking at some of your photos..

This is really fascinating. I've never looked into the actual process of steeking this closely and your beautiful pictures are really wonderful. I feel like I'm actually there!

Uuuuuaaaaaaiihhhh .... phuhh ... well, it's looking fine man. Congratulation to such a fantastic cardigan!
Huzzah for a good cardiganization! Do show us close-ups of the inside after you work the button bands, won't you? Oh, the tweedy beauty. I love it.
I'm delurking to say that I've been watching your progress, and I can't wait to see the end result. You are brave to cut such an amazing sweater!
Wow, that's one amazing cardigan. You couldn't find something like that at the Gap no matter how hard you tried, that's what I love about it. And you definitely make the steeking not so scary looking.
But I'm with Cheryl, how did you get those pictures and cut the steek at the same time? ;)
there's something about this that just took steeking from holy-shit-that-looks-scary-but-kind-of -awesome to i-HAVE-to-do-that.
it looks so satisfying somehow. i can just feel the yarn breaking under the shears...
Wonderful! Thank you. I came to look at your always great photos, and I am leaving thinking, for the first time, that I may be able to do steeking. Beautiful knitting!
Eep!
I'm waiting with bated breath for a final modeled shot. I can scarcely contain my excitement. What a beauty.
This is a gorgeous sweater. I love the ribbon-like cables on either side of the front. Just amazing.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words?! These are worth a 1,000 "I can do that too if I gave it a try" mantras! :) Your photos made me quiver! I can't wait to see the finished product.
Thank you for showing us this, I had no idea you can do this without having to use the sewing machine and make ugly stitches before cutting.....

Dude, that is Hard Core ;)
I've been watching progress on the Cardi with bated breath..can I breathe out yet?
Wow - that is really interesting - and beautiful details in the knitting patterns!

ihave been eagerly looking forward to this moment. have started to swatch myself. and cable knitting is wonderful. much better than lace. and this sweater is a gem. beautiful craftsmanship and so inspiring. thank god for ez, meg and their followers that make knitting such a bliss.
I'm just catching up with blogs this morning and that was no way to start a Monday! Yarn and scissors--I nearly choked on my coffee. But, whew, what a beautiful job you did.
Even your steek looks gorgeous. That sweater is beautiful. Thank you so much for documenting your work so beautifully (and giving encouragement to the rest of us).
oh. my. goodness. You even make cutting a steek look so lovely! I have to make sure my husband doesn't see your gorgeous sweater or he's going to want me to rip out what I have and make one like yours instead :P And as much as I intend to try steeks, I don't think I'm quite ready...
wow. unbelievably beautiful. and such great, clear pics too… I think my next sweater will have to be in tweed!
That third picture gave me a little involuntary shiver all down my spine. I'm so excited about your steaks, and impressed of course. Congratualations.
