    You are certainly a brave soul. The photos alone gave me heart failure, but the end product is absolutely lovely.

    So gorgeous... photos and knitting like your are what keep me going (first typed knitting... simply no time for that at the moment!) ... perhaps hanging on better expresses it!
    I can't wait to see it finished...

    I am curious; what method of sewing your steeks did you use that you got ridges like that on the sides of where you were cutting? I've never seen a technique like that before. I usually crochet on either side of where I'm going to cut.

    ooo--scary. I'm preparing myself for my first cutting experience. Nearly done, will cut soon.

    I may be crazy, but I love the sound of the scissors snipping the stitches. Steeking is so satifying. All the steek-o-phobes out there should give it a try!

    Can't wait to see the finished product. The colour combo is fantastic.

    i agree with alisa. the steek reinforcement ridges look amazing. did you pick up stitches through the fabric and bind them off?

    i've never steeked anything before, but you make me want to try it.

    excellent! I love seeing handspun knitted up into fabulous garments. Is steeking really as scary as it looks?

    What an artist you are! These knitted images are glorious! I have to hurry back and see more of your wonderful work! (I found you via the fabulous Swedish Petrao).

    Happy weekend from Emily, an American in Norway

    AAAHHH! Just the thought of steeking frightens me no end.

    That's the best shot of steeking that I've ever seen. It helps to explain what it is. I can't wait to see the finished product!

    OH NO, not the scissors! You have got to have more than nerves of steel. No shakey hands? I would absolutely throw up if something went wrong with the steeks. But we in knitter/blogger land are all waiting to see the end result!

    As someone who has yet to tackle steeks, I find that terrifying! I imagine it is a bit exhilarating as well.

    I too am interested in how you did your steeks. I am about to do one on a Alice Starmore baby blanket.

    YES! Finally STEEKS and no more purls! I have been DREAMING of whipping out some of my beautiful yarn and knitting up tubes that become cardigans, vests, pullovers with STEEKS. Oh, teach us to STEEK! Please!
