Armagh Sweater

I am working on Alice Starmore's Armagh sweater. I would hate to admit how long I have been working on this. This is my first Fair Isle sweater and it has been through a lot. My cats actually chewed a hole in it, so I had to have it professionally repaired. Also, I am new at cutting steeks, so I needed help with that as well. My goal is to learn to sew the steeks myself, which would make my projects a lot less expensive! I need to finish this one, and I hope to do so this year. It has sentimental value to me as I worked on it in Latvia when I was in the Peace Corps. It brings back happy memories!
