At last...
At last.
I really like the shoulder strap method I used here - at first, I tried Wendy's saddle shoulder technique, but the slipped stitch chain was too loose for my taste:
So instead, I played around and decided to work the full saddle, bind off all my pieces, and pick up the left side of the stitches in the body piece:
and knit them together, one by one, with the purlwise selvedge strands of the saddle piece and bind off:
The join is smooth, tight, and seems very strong (a real concern - this is a 2lb garment we're talking about!)
Just a little seaming to go, and this fucker'll be done.
