I'm still working on the Lacy Prairie Shawl...but I've been sidetracked.

I knit it out of Green Mountain Spinnery, Yarn Over. A nice yarn for being bulky. Rather traditional in feel and color. I see a pattern.

If you look closely at the above photo you will see a row of stockinette down the middle of the sweater. Oh yeah. I'm cutting this one....right down the middle.

Now this is a first for me. 

I was a little apprehensive in the beginning. 

But I surely am not the first.

This is a well known, functional, easier way.

I'm all for that.

I brought out the old trusty for a little reinforcement.

That's a good idea. Once I was this far into it. I was just rolling with it. No turning back.

This is what I ended up with. I'm very pleased. It really felt good to just cut right down the middle. 

It still needs it's buttons sewn on and a zipper. I'm also going to try the taping in of the zipper before sewing. Thanks to Samro!

I like the fit. I made it a bit longer. I wouldn't do the decrease/increase exactly the same if I did it again. I think I would try to keep them less obvious. Or just not do them. I think I'll wear this alot. Yay!
