Till the end of November, all my posts will start this way: I’m raising money for Alzheimer’s Research UK by knitting every day in November. It’s important to me because my dad has Alzheimer’s. If you feel so moved, you can donate here.

I finished the back yesterday, and seamed it with one half of the front so I could try to fit the sleeve. That way if it doesn’t fit, I can adjust the pattern before knitting the other front panel.

You may recall I’m drafting this pattern both from an existing pattern and from pictures of the original Big Lebowski jumper. The pattern has raglan sleeves, but the original is straight, and I aimed somewhere in between. The reasons for this are unclear – it seemed like a good idea at the time.

I’m pretty pleased with the seam! The key pattern matching is on point. It’s a bit wobbly but a little blocking may help.
