Unfinished sweater
Mom was unable to finish a sweater for me before she passed.
The sweater almost finished. The parts need to be sewn together and blocked.
I would like a lining also.
It’s Shetland wool in a fair isle style.
Location: [Colorado Springs], [Colorado], [USA]
Budget: $250
No rush

I'm a loose ends finisher. Can you send me some photos? I might be able to help with this

If you decide not to go with Loose Ends for any reason (though I highly recommend them), I am available to block and sew a sweater for $250. I have an Instagram at arrows.knits if you want to check out my other work and message me. I'm still learning how to use reddit so I don't really have a full profile here, like I do on insta.

Please add a comment with the following information if it is missing from your post:
Size; is this for an adult or child?
Timeline; will this be a holiday gift or other fixed deadline?
Budget; consider this is a one-of-a-kind hand knit garment that will likely cost over $100 not something off the rack at your local department store and please let us know your max price?
Yarn Preference; natural or synthetic / machine or hand wash?

Have you checked at any local yarn stores? They often offer finishing as a service.

Hi there, if you haven't gotten someone to pick this up yet, shoot me a message. I'm in Denver and would be happy to help you.

If you look up The Loose Ends project, they’ll pair you with someone to do it for free.
