Another brief note, this one an update about that sweater I posted in the fall. I finished it a year ago but didn't wear it until cooler weather in the fall. The length always bugged me, as it wanted to ride up in the back and left me feeling cold! I didn't end up wearing it much at all this past season.
I decided to lengthen the hem an inch or so, and also fixed one of the cuffs that I had made a mistake on while I was at it. It was a fairly fast fix.
I didn't want to make a turtleneck out of the neckkline, so I made a little cowl using the pattern as a guide so I can add it if I want to. I did the first repeat twice (or maybe three times?) and the second repeat twice before purling a few rows and then a bind off. I like how it came out! It will definitely be warmer than the first iteration. Fingers crossed I will wear it more this coming winter!
And yes, it really is cold enough for wools again today! Go home, weather, you're drunk.
I like the changes, looks comforting and warm! I know, so cold today here too!
