Collared

With the buttonhole band as good as it's going to get, I could sew the collar on. The collar pattern is good for this variegated yarn because it is shaped by knitting the outer part on smaller needles rather than using short rows, so the stripes are not affected.

  1. That looks marvellous. Are the sleeves attached?

    1. No, I haven't knitted the sleeves yet. I wanted to be sure the steeking would work before I put time into knitting the sleeves.

  2. It looks great! Sometimes it just makes sense to undo and redo.

  3. It's looking wonderful! - it's almost a pity that you can't wear it before the competition.

  4. Glorious effect, Jane!! Thanks for taking us through the rough-and-fix-it spots, as in the button band. We knitters all hit them but successful maneuvering through makes for a masterful finish!

  7. Your cardigan is looking really lovely and the collar is perfect, you may have had problems with it but the end result is turning out to be beautiful.
