Body Block

Shown here are the back and fronts of my Cambridge Jacket -- complete, attached at the shoulders, and blocking. The only modification made at this point was to shape the shoulders with short rows in order to work a three-needle bind-off at the shoulder seams. This is my preferred method because it produces a neat-looking, strong seam which is less bulky than two separately bound-off edges sewn together. Plus, I'm always partial to techniques that involve knitting rather than sewing.
