Highgate Complete!

Dashed were my initial plans to Kitchener the collar together… I think I just got lazy and was in a rush to finish, so I used the three-needle bind off instead. The join of the centre back of the collar to the back piece is a little off centre, but I just left it rather than ripping and re-sewing. I’m surprising myself with how laid back I’m getting about finishing — perfectionism doesn’t live here anymore.

But I love how it fits! It’s soft and fuzzy — mmm, just in time for springtime. Here it is!

    Gorgeous sweater! Love the detail! And I always have to giggle at the “headless” shots that knitters love to take…it’s a curious phenomena that’s for sure. Maybe we’re really shy as knitters? That can’t be true…we all have blogs showcasing everything we do…LOL
