Ready to rumble.

All pieces of Peppermint Twist are present and correct(I think), so all I have to do now is put it all together. Which should be interesting. Instead of casting off you slip your stitches on a stitch holder, for when you knit the neck band, So I'm not really sure how to go about it. Any ideas?

So, I ordered the GGH yarn to make the Pale Blue Jacket from Get Knitted at the end of March and it finally came at the end of last week, through no fault of Get Knitted, I have to add. They didn't have the colour I wanted in stock so they had to order it from Germany, it took forever. I think I emailed Sue at Get Knitted every week to see if there was any news, she was really helpful, I think was as frustrated as me. Anyway it's here now and I've done my swatch, got the right tension and cast on, now I'm trying to figure out the rest of the pattern and I think with this pattern I might be in over my head, but I've waited so long for the yarn to make it, I'm not going to give in that easily.


Yarn for PBJ and a little bar of soap that came with my order. Posted by Hello

It's more the actual seaming that I'm not too sure about. I don't know what to do with the rest of the yarn. You know how when you cast off you pull the yarn through the last stitch and that secures it in place, but because I've slipped the stitchers onto stitch holders instead of casting off I don't really no how to go about seaming. The only thing that I've decided about the seaming is to start at the top to make sure that all the stitches line up.
Does that make sence?
