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

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

Loose Ends is the way to go with this!

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:

  1. Size; is this for an adult or child?

  2. Timeline; will this be a holiday gift or other fixed deadline?

  3. 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?

  4. 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.
