We also have a very little bit of yarn left over.
Which means in the grand scheme of things. a sweater is complete!
I have already woven in all the ends on it. All the remains to be done is to find a button for the faux henley neckline bit, which you can just see peeking at the top, and a good wash and block.
I do have one other thing to do, and that is to reinforce the neckline. This sweater, based on A Twisted Little Raglan by Anne Budd has a wide neckline. I probably could have gone to one size smaller to start with, and knit one more row or two to make the neckline just slightly smaller, but I do like it the way it is. It just needs to be placed on a firm backing so that it doesn't feel as if it is falling off my shoulders. Each time I tried it on, I was wearing a turtleneck or other top and it seemed okay. Because I plan to wear the sweater without anything under it, it is just a wee bit wider than optimal. That is a good lesson to learn I suppose.
Other than that one thing, I like the sweater just fine. A good plain sweater, with just the smallest touch of something different.
