I love how the cat came out so much! The ribbing on the sweater is really awesome too! Which bind off method did you use?
I actually didn't do the ribbing portion top down like you see in the tutorials. I did a long tail cast on according to row 1 of the chart (I had 3 balls of yarn on the needle when it was over)and then transferred the stitches to the machine. After I did the all the ribbing rows I just put the latch hook in the bottommost stitch, dropped the stitch all the way down, and then hooked it back up with the knit stitch facing me. (kinda had to work the stitches under the intarsia threads along the back though). After the piece was done all I had to do was cut the elastic. The cast on tails took care of closing any gaps made on the sweater edge by the color switching.
There are more notes on the blog entry I posted a few comments below this one. If you can do intarsia, you can make this.
I'm wicked awesome at using the straight needles, but using the machine would save me a lot of time and I could get through orders so much faster.
I'll check out your blog and read up on this. Thanks!
is it your own design????
