Sitcom Chic update

I am so close I can taste it. On the other hand, the last finishing touch scares me. I am at the point where I need to pick-up and knit the button bands and the neckline. I've never done this before. Yikes!

I still need to weave in those ends first and attach those bound off armpit stitches. In retrospect, I should have left them as live stitches so that I could just graft the stitches together. Oh well. Maybe when I have more knitting experience, then I can stray from the pattern. After all, this is my 1st Cardi.

I will upload some pictures soon. I promise.
