These are (hopefully) the stretch inserts for the armhole of the jacket. Firstly, I had trouble finding a fabric that was the right weight and colour for what I need. So I looked in op-shops and tried to find a second-hand jumper or cardigan that I could cut the pieces out of but still found nothing quite right. Eventually, I have ended up knitting these pieces from scratch. They're not quite perfect because its hard to tell while knitting what the shape will look like off the needle. But, I think, because they're stretchy they should still work ok once sewn in.
Awesome, well done Emily. Love a bit of hand knitting. We'll have to find an ingenious way of doing the seams, possibly hand stitched.
