Here are some better photos of HRM the Kooch.
(Love my little Duck to pieces, but the guy cannot for the life of him take in-focus photographs.)
I jumped the gun with all the seaming. That photo in the magazine is misleading. The awesome belt which really is the whole reason why I started this 2-year knitting sojourn, is not actually belt. WHAT? you say, if not a belt then what? Well, they are actually ties which end at either side of the waist. One tie for the right, one for the left. The right tie is attached to the waist seam of the front right panel, and vice-versa for the left. THEN the left and right front panels are seamed to the back panel.
Does not that sound entirely nutters to you? And how odd would that look, a cardigan with a half-belt? And how empty and naked the back.
So screw the instructions and the design, I'm making a full belt.
Here are some more photos of Rambling Rose to fill up space. I blocked the back and fronts and let us now bask in the glory of the awesome stitch definition. Go STR Go.
