I put the final stitches in the left sleeve today at lunch. I had already woven in most of my ends, so there was very little left but to block it.
I wet-blocked this sweater to get some extra length out of it. In the picture above it is not quite 17".
After a quick bath in some lukewarm water and baby shampoo, however, it is more than 20"! The sleeves will also be a little bit longer. I bought deer antler buttons in New Zealand that I'll be using on this sweater, so I still have those to add.
I know these aren't great pictures, especially of the lace pattern, but I'll have better photos after it's dry and I can wear it. For now, have a gratuitous "cat at Christmas" photo.
The Pickle is king of the sparkly forest.
