Notes

I started this almost a year ago and never quite got around to finishing it, though I’m making it in a great color. Quince & Co. has an incredible selection of really vivid colors but Clay is just so unique and lovely, somewhere between pink and orange.

I’m making it without pockets, and I’m going to attempt to copy BookcaseHat’s directions for neck shaping because, frankly, I don’t really like the stand-collar mock turtleneck look. We’ll see how this goes!

12/26: Done, and the sweater is blocking. I’ll hopefully get to seam it tomorrow.

12/28: Everything is finished, including the i-cord neck, which is a nice touch. I’m so sick of traditional ribbed necks. However it ended up a little boxier after blocking than I would have liked. Oh well.

Mods:
-lengthened the sleeves to be full-length (CO 46 and kept gradually increasing until I got to the right number)
-no pockets
-used applied i-cord to make a neck.

Failed IntSweMoDo #3.
