If you're still unsure have another look at the pattern's schematic--there is a dashed line depicting exactly where you'll want to seam! I hope this helps!

Thanks for this lovely pattern and for the yarn inspiration. Just one question: I never block gauge swatches. Do I have to for this project, do you think?<br />As for what else is on my needles...way too many projects...it all depends upon how short my attention span is for how involved the project can be in the moment.

It's such a perfect weight, not too bulky but knits up quickly.

It reminds me of your awesome Gemini originally knit in cotton and then modified and knit in wool. I was wearing mine yesterday, it's so awesome!
