I do all additions and seams before blocking, so that would be my suggestion. I can’t wait to see the finished product; it seems like a gorgeous sweater from all the photos and whatnot.

Hope things are well with you!

Applied I-cord before blocking. It’ll stretch lengthwise w/ the blocking if it needs to and be a perfect fit!

I like the yarn. I remember that when I first bought a sweaters worth of yarn, I was rather shocked for the rest of the day.

Good luck knitting your sweater.

Oh, that’s a lovely pattern. Norah Gaughan patterns make me drool! No advice for you on the i-cord though, sorry!

I am suffering from major yarn envy right now. I’ve been stalking that very yarn since my LYS started carrying it over a year ago; it looks so darned soft and cuddly. Nice choice for your first sweater lot!

My Tulip has applied I cord and I did it before blocking. It is beautiful. A really nice finish.

Applied i-cord: Before blocking please. The application stretches just like regular knitting, so should block out with the rest of the sweater.

Of course, you could always swatch it both ways and see which you prefer

Much love to you!
