I'm finally done my sweater of mistakes!
I cast off in June, but it had several problems (body too short, neck too big, sleeve sized mismatched) so I reworked the collar, body and half a sleeve before I called it done (and was sick of working on it)
The upside is I'm very happy with it now! Perfect fall weight sweater, I love the colors and pattern, the yarn is super soft, and I'm wearing it all the time.

@hwesta oh that came out so lovely!
@twistylittlepassages Thank you! I'm so glad, after all the extra work I put in
@hwesta wow that looks fantastic! I love how the short rows under the collar give an almost Peter Pan collar effect in combination with the texture. Such a happy colour too. Congratulations! “Nevertheless, she persevered” :)
@venite Thank you! I was a little unhappy with the look of the short rows but now you've recontextualized it and made me like it.
Sweaters are always an exercise in perseverance, and this one more than most :)
