What if I knit a sweater in four parts, but it needed no seaming? What if I knit the sleeves from cuff to mid-torso, with a division for the neck that cut off an inch or two short in the front? ...and then did a three-needle bind-off at the back, rather than a seam? ...and then knit the body down from the sleeves in two parts

Wow, sounds interesting. I bet it would be fun to knit, if not a challenge - but a good one, I suspect. I'd love to see it. Love the name!

I don't have time to knit all the sweaters in my head, Lia. It's a little crazy-making - I want to cast on Right Now! - but I have three other design ideas queued up already...

Wow! You know, I can almost see it and I'm not usually good at stuff like that.

It just struck me as such an interesting way to put a garment together. An answer to all the people who knit round to avoid seaming.
