November Sweater: An Epilogue

SO! When we last left our heroic effort at NaKniSweMo, I had seriously botched the collar.

Sad collar scrunches cardigan sadly

It took a few more tries, but I finally got the right number of stitches to accomodate the size.

Proud collar stands proudly!

Although I can't remember the actual number of stitches I ended up adding, it was WAY more than the pattern called for. I think I was generous with the length when knitting the body, which would account for some of the extra real estate - but even if I did the pattern again exactly as written, I think I would end up adding extra stitches to the collar anyway.

And I still got to do my cool cast off! Which went really well with the buttons.

All in all I am SUPER happy with this, and luckily so was the recipient! (At least so she says.) ;) Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of this being worn - but I tried it on before sending it off and it was pretty cozy. Hopefully I'll get some soon though! *winkwink*
