Woohoo! The sleeve is done, & I boldly jumped into the collar. I did a test fit before starting the collar, looking good so far. The sleeves are a little longer, which is great, so I can hide my hands in them. My hands get cold so easily. Plus, the collar will pull up everything a bit, holding it more together than it is now.
The collar is coming along, I've done about an inch or so. I won't really know how it looks until I take it off the needles, so I'm sort of playing this one by ear. There is a point at the shoulder line where the cables are, it sort of buckles there from the cables. I'm hoping it won't distort the collar. I'm thinking I may just keep going on it as is, maybe make a turtle neck. A looser one, though, almost like a cowl neck.
Sadly, I checked my notes on when I first began this sweater. Sheesh, its been almost 2 years. I remember thinking how it would only take me a little more than a month to finish it. Obviously, I haven't been very diligent on completing it.
It was right around then that I really started working on the chemo hats. I wanted to get a batch in to the cancer center while the weather was still cool, so the folks who needed them would be able to wear them. Ah, good intentions, but neglectful all the same!
