Yay! You have just made one half of the front. Great job! :o)
Please make one more just like this one. Then you will have both front halves for the sweater!

Did you finish the second front half? Good job. Now, if you want to do a neat job, now is the time to go ahead and block the 3 sweater pieces we have made so far -- the large BACK piece we made in Part II and these two FRONT HALVES we just finished in Part III.

When they are dry, I'll see you in Part IV!
