Wish me luck. (crossposted to knitting)

My first proper sweater - not a halter top - is currently pinned to a towel held to my father's workbench by a big ol' carpenter's vise. I have no blocking board, and the device I used last time - my pizza stone - was too small for this project to be blocked on. I've pinned the top over the bottom, since the lines of both parts are the same save at the very top. The sleeves have been pinned separately. I just spent I don't know how long subjecting them to as much heat and steam as I could manage from my iron. When they're tried, I have to sew the shoulder seams and do the neck, then block that and sew in the sleeves.

Here's hoping they dry okay.
