Notes

I knitted this for a tightly knit texture, so the blocked circumference is only 40 inches.

After a few days, I see that the blocking that made the front ribbing unroll appears to be undoing a bit, as it has rolled somewhat. Not sure how to prevent future rolling, other than putting in a zipper

Nove. 10--sweater is finished but the collar and front openings are rolling once again within hours of unpinning the blocking. I soaked the sweater first before blocking, which is usually the way I get the most control blocking, but am pretty much at a loss as to how to keep this rolling from occurring. It is making what would be a nearly perfect sweater IMO from looking as it should

Nov. 11 A heavy steaming (and actual pressing with a damp cloth)seems to have finally tamed the rolling front
