Eight inches of back on one ball of yarn.

2-11-2024 This has been such an enjoyable knit. Long, wide cables and lovely yarn. I’m up to the collar and then blocking.
I worked the collar in seed stitch and made it 2.5 inches (about 6cm) which is plenty long enough. Maybe too long.
2-15-2024 Blocking, finally. We’ll see how the collar looks. It may have to be reworked with fewer sts.

Well, the collar doesn’t work in seed stitch so I ripped it out and followed the pattern for k1p1 rib. Much neater.
