Sewing the hem to the inside of the body is one of the things I'm most scared about right now. Too bad I didn't know how to work a provisional cast-on when I started this sweater. That should've been the time to learn. But I have some concern if the body is even going to be long enough to fit <i>my</i> bod, so some additional hem length is a nice thing to have. I'm going to decide whether to sew in the hem or leave it down. I did do a turning round, but with some blocking and wear, it might not look so bad.<br /></p> <p>Anyhow, I'm pretty psyched about the fit and feel of this sweater! It's snug, yet stretchy, which works great with the cables. <a target="_blank" href="http://mamaofpurl.blogspirit.com/images/medium_100_2648.jpg"><img style="border-width: 0pt; margin: 0.2em 1.4em 0.7em 0pt; float: left;" alt="medium_100_2648.jpg" src="http://mamaofpurl.blogspirit.com/images/medium_100_2648.2.jpg" /></a><br /></p>
