Finito!
The Knitting Olympics are over. I completed this during the closing ceremony (okay, during a rerun of the closing ceremony, but it was Sunday) and there are several firsts: my first Dale of Norway, my first steek (unattended, in the end, but successful), my first facings. I'm right with those who collapse just over the finish line.

Congrats! I read on the Yarn Harlot page that you even bought a sewing machine to finish. Wow! Just a warning I've found sewing just as addicting as knitting.

Hi, Linda: Great sweater, and congratulations on navigating the steek. I love steeks. The only knitting workshop I teach these days is on steeks because they are fantastic, and before you've done one successfully they can be terrifying. I love your idea of sharing KnitLit contributors' projects. I don't have a digital camera, but am working on a Norwegian-style sweater inspired by Norsk Strikkedesign (has to be "inspired by" because the charts in the book can't be read by my eyes even with my new glasses--and, of course, I'm changing gauges and measurements). It involves three steeks that I know of so far (I'm designing as I go).
