More Progress on the Bohus

I finished the yoke on the Bohus sweater and it's starting to look good. The white and gray colorwork really lifted the mood from the all black background and gave the sweater some life. I still need to knit the 1 inch of ribbing that finishes the neckline and graft under the arms, THEN it's on to the dreaded steeking. I've heard that a couple of stiff drinks may be necessary to work up the courage to cut the knitted fabric. I wonder if pina coladas are too frou-frou to work...

Love the yoke design! Come on, girl, you can steek! Be strong! or drink something more than a pina colada! ;>

It's Bee-you-tiful! You didn't even mention at the wool fest. You must plan a trip to the Orkneys for this sweater.
