Yes, I’m starting my Rhinebeck sweater in April. If I don’t, this sucker will never get done!

6/10/12: body is complete and on hold on a cable. I started a sleeve on US size 7 needles and found that it was too loose for my liking. I frogged it and decided to go down a needle size to do the sleeves.

8/28/12: finished!!! I’ll be blocking it tomorrow. I gave it a try on before I soaked and blocked it. The sleeves are a bit snug in the armpit area, but I’m hoping that blocking will alleviate this somewhat. I blame this on the fact that went down a needle size when I did the sleeves.

9/1/12: I sewed a grosgrain ribbon at the collar to give it some stability. Since I didn’t create buttonholes I sewed in a snap at the top of the neckline.
