I had two knitting projects on the go over the weekend...mine and the new knitter's...
I can report good progress made on both!
With close oversight, Darling Daughter, sailed through the various maneuvers of the final collar decreases and short row shoulder shaping on Alberta yielding the foxy-looking thing above all ready for steeking.
(Probably using the technique outlined in Kate Davie's Double Crochet tutorial here.)
As the rounds got shorter she also took to cutting up the Noro to ensure each stripe appeared similar to those in the longer rounds below. I think she did a really nice job with that.
As for Slade, I'm now just passing the horizontal button holes on the neckband, dipping into the 6th of 7 skeins to finish the final 2 1/4" of ribbing yet to go..
Like I said, I'll be sorry to see this yarn off my needles. Good thing I'm going to have well over 300 yards of yarn left once I'm done!
