This one took me a while to finish but it was well worth it. I did something I don’t usually do with this one, I actually swatched and not only did I swatch but I washed the swatch, which was a very good thing. Through this, I found that the sweater would grow in length when washed, so I compensated for that by making it just long enough and hoping that it would grow as the swatch did (and it did).

My modifications: I did a 1x1 rib on the collar and front sides rather than stockinette. I didn’t think I’d be able to handle the rolling. And, I made it short sleeved so it will be a great summer sweater in Texas.

I love this sweater and plan to throw it in a little drawstring bag in my larger bags this summer to fight off the chill of the air conditioning!

Mary-Heather took the awesome pictures while we were at StevenBe’s in Minneapolis! So nice to have someone willing to take my FO photos.
