Wet-blocking definitely helped calm down the collar - i folded over the edge while it dried to really make sure it came out flat. I also removed the i-cord loops and just sewed up the keyhole permanently and sewed the cute little button there. The i-cords were really bulky-looking and this looks much cleaner.

Done! It’s drying now and I need a button. The collar doesn’t lay flat and is super curly, so hoping the wet block will fix that.

This was a fun knit- a couple quirky things but altogether nice. I had a very hard time finding a pattern to fit this yarn and it was difficult to match up the stripes at different parts of the pattern, but it worked out really pretty.

The sweater runs pretty short (photo to come) so I’m a little bummed about that. That’s the style though so it’s no fault of the pattern.
