Another do-over to do...
So I finally got the neckband seamed on the Baby Norgi:
Lovely. But as soon as it was done I noticed that...it is not a very stretchy seam. Or perhaps it was not a very stretchy bind-off. Either way, it is not a very stretchy neckband and Owen, he has a big head. By the time (Christmas-ish) that this sweater would fit him, there is no chance of his head fitting through the opening. I took it home last weekend to compare sweater to baby and this sad fact of stretchlessness was confirmed. So I'm going to have to somehow undo that neck and redo it, either with a REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY stretchy bind-off and seam (which means time for me to go learn some new ones...) or else just reknit the neckband in ribbing, which seems the better idea presently. Sigh...
