I am so pleased with this.
Great choices:
The v neck. Much easier to deal with than a zipper, even though they are trendy at the moment.
Sticking with the folded collar. I. Love. It. In my search to feel warm and cozy, this is a winner and is going to happen again.
The three colours rather than two. If it were only cream and red, it would be too much red. I love having the extra flow of such a gentle colour as this oatmeal mixed in. I just love it. LOVE IT ( This is me dancing.)
The oopsies:
I miscounted the sleeve stitches and the are closer fitting than I generally like. However...I won't redo. Once it's washed and worn a few times it will be fine.
The v neck. I didn't want to have the flat base of the vee. It made the collar a bit more complex. At the rate of increases I used, the v bottom would have been at my navel - not a good look. I will do better math next time.
I should have made the back hem a bit longer as the pattern does. I chose not to split the hem so if I do change this, the entire bottom ribbing will be redone. That means that the whole second red skein of yarn will be used up. Two sweaters from this yarn? What was I thinking?
I am wearing it right now and I love it. It has been such a fun knit. On top of everything, it has been great for practicing my single handed stranding.
For the next thing.
