For the Next Thing

It's  done.

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.
