This is my Lotus Blossom Shrug. I knit 2 lace pattern repeats for the 'arms'. I'm almost finished the second repeat on the second 'arm'. But now I'm wondering the best way to attach it to the main piece.

I knit the first arm, below, then separated for the body and continued in stockinette. I have thought of two possibilities.
1. A three needle bind off on the last (knit) row of the lace repeat - this could make a bulky seam which visibly doesn't match the other side.
or
2. Kitchener the two pieces together - that's a whole 100 stitches though.

Any other thoughts or opinions would be gratefully accepted. This could make FO status this weekend :0)
Happy Friday.

You aren't going to want to hear this, but since the other sleeve is knit on, I think kitchener is going to be your best bet. It's the only thing that's going to match.
And just think - when you finish, you will be a grafting master!

You can totally kitchener the 100 stitches!! Just think, then it will be done and look so pretty!!
My gut says kitchener--lock yourself in a quiet room with no distractions and go for it!!
