I finally pulled myself together and weaved in all the ends and sewed on the pockets on Eirin's Polka Dot Sweater today. And it came out great! As it is knitted in acrylic, I didn't dare to use the iron and steam block the polka dot pattern on the sleeves and the pockets... So I dipped them in water, blocked them with pins and let them dry. They became less wobbley, but I still would have wanted them to be flatter. Hopefully they will become that with wearing.
