Here it is with the back and fronts (to armpit level) sewn together, in preparation for knitting in the round. The more observant of you will notice that the two sides are sewn together... on the left neatly... but on the right...there's about 2cm of overhang from the back. But, the two pieces actually hang straight.
Hmm. Saranac 1: Me 0
Going to hide the excess material under the armpit somehow.
Next: to join the sleeves in the round to the main piece. This was a little daunting at first but then I got a nice little figure of eight going.

However, that's not how it's supposed to work. The sleeves are supposed to be joined to the body in the round, not as a figure of eight. So, here's what happened, when I turned the circular needles into a circle.
Bugger. The sleeve is connected so it is now inside out.

However...
These are jointed needles. So, I've taken the needles out and rethreaded them through the loops so the sleeves and the body are the right way around and connected in a circle.

It could have ended in tears.

Yay! That really could have ended badly. I'm so glad that it didn't! :)
