So close, but yet...

My darling Audrey lays in pieces on my floor. Blocked and ready for the S word. Seaming. Did I mention that this is my (quiet, hushed voice) first sweater? Well, it is. All the pieces look like they are made for each other, which is a good sign.

So, I'm asking for advice, which method did you use to seam her up? Any other tips or suggestions before I start? (I'm a little nervous, can you tell?)

OK, deep breath. I'll wait to hear from some reassuring voices from my fellow Audrey-ers.

Hi Kate! I used mattress stitch for all the seams... See here: http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEspring04/mattress.html

Felicia,

Thanks for the link. I printed out the instructions. Doesn't look terribly difficult.

Will keep everyone posted.

I also used mattress stitch. I like that it gives a nice smooth seam. It's not very hard. Good luck!
