I enjoyed this knit so much that I finished it within 20 days!! I reknit the neck three times because I was afraid not having enough MC yardage. But the extra skein was more grey than black and even the striping didn’t save me. So the last try was picking up the first row of colourwork and cut the row before to disattach the neck. Then I knitted short rows and neck band in reverse with the correct MC (added a folded brim too). It’s worked and I actually got leftover MC after finishing the whole project! I chose to do crop and shorter sleeves because that’s how I like to wear sweaters anyway.
