I did a picot edge on that and I wear it as a jacket. On the Swan, I am going to make button bands. I will pick up next to the steek and knit them. The steek naturally folds back on itself and I just folded and tacked it down, I think. I have to see if I folded it or not.
I'll go look, but what kind of front bands did you use, then?
Not that I really want to think about wild apple right now.. It hit 110 today.

Therese,
I would steek the Wild Apple. i steeked my Rose Lace Collar and am planning to steek my Swan when I get to it. The gauge is fine and the yarn is sticky and ?it works beautifully. The reason I’m not steering the Swedish Heartwarmer is that it is a shawl with a crocheted edging. I would have to completely change the edging to cover the steek and it is a much heavier yarn (a dense sock weight yarn) which makes for bulk.
I believe some of the people who made it then did steek it but ran into the edging/facing problem.?
Thanks Jaya and Steph for this...filing away for the yoke of my Wild Apple, if/when I get to it - I want to do it as a cardigan.
Looking forward to seeing a couple of finished Swedish Heartwarmers this winter - such a beautiful design.?

Glad you found the link?
It was a skill I’m glad I learned. Though I would have to relearn it now.?
My shawl is in my office - where I haven’t been since March. I should go get it and wear it at home, though that might jinx things and I’ll have to go back ?
Steph?

Anmiryam, I’d also love to hear how the island is this year. When do you come back??
Jenny, I too thought I was the last one still working on this. It is good to hear that I am not.?
I searched for and found Steph’s video on how to do the colorwork while knitting left to right to avoid 2-color purling and am going to teach myself this technique. My goal is to have it done by Winter Solstice this year!? It is going to be gigantic I think. Maybe I’ll put it up as wall decor ツ

How’s the island this year, Anmiryam? I’m guessing you are still over there.
Loved the dog pics.
