It's got a nice wide neck opening so I can make a good warm doubled over collar.
As I approach the bottom of the sleeve opening, I am thinking a lot about knitting the collar and the sleeves. Lots of people feel it is easier and that it gives you a better idea about how it will fit. I'm not so sure. I hate all the end flopping in and out with no place to tuck them and I hate dealing with the bottom stitches on hold. For me, this is usually an option I don't go for.
Besides, I'm eagerly looking forward to knitting the body in the round. It's a combination of yarn and needles and just eagerly awaiting brainless knitting. All of my sweaters are at thinking places, and I just want to get over that. I feel a bit like a kid stuck in a car, asking are we there yet hoping this will be over soon.
I hope to get to the front and back join today. That would be the nicest treat for myself. One more day of a big push to get this fun sweater well on the way to complete.
