FO: Shawl Collared Sweater

Yarn is South West Trading Company Twize, Colorway 327 Twown (multi) red/black/white. The yarn has such a strong color pattern that any stitch pattern I tried just disappeared. So it’s entirely stockinette. Acres and acres of dull, boring, stockinette. This sweater has taken me a while to knit, as I get vectored off to do more “interesting” (i.e. not stockinette) projects.

Finally, though, I have it finished. I even got my offspring to model it for me. He’s got it shifted back on his shoulders a bit so it’s riding up in the front. THINGS I WOULD DO DIFFERENTLY: (1) I would start the V neck sooner, lower down on the body by about 2 inches; (2) I’d make the back neck not so tall (I got a little carried away with the short rows, I think. Otherwise I’m quite satisifed, since I made it up as I went along.

Bless you, Elizabeth Zimmerman!
