Photo Link for extreme close up of stitches.
Here's my progress on the Christmas sweater. You can see the beginnings of the first sleeve cuff on the Size 1 double points toward the right. It's been going pretty quickly, although now that the live horse racing season is over for the year, that may cut into my "enforced" knitting time.
I've finished the polka dot linen pants as well, and hope to both wear them and get a photo this evening. I think they turned out pretty well.
I also managed to finish a previously abandoned shirt for Pearle. I'm not sure why I quit working on it before, but it was pretty close to done, and so I did the cuffs, hem, buttonholes and buttons last night, and it's ready to go.

I was very intrigued by the next photo, which shows just how fine and detailed the weave is on this Swiss cotton fabric. It also shows that the regular size sewing thread I used is miles larger than the threads used to weave the fabric.

Liana, finding your blog has made me want to start making my husband's shirts again! I made them while we were in college and later until he moved into a job where dress shirts were required. I just wasn't sure about the quality of the fusibles available then (or maybe my skills at using them) to make collars and stands that would hold up. I think I'm going to have to try it again now, though!
