web-goddess: Ring Around the Collar

Ring Around the Collar
And just like that, we have a collar! As previously mentioned, I had to do some serious modifications of the pattern as this point. The depth of my neck shaping meant I ended up with a lot more stitches than the pattern called for, so I had to add in a bunch of extra cables and twists. I also wanted to cast it off with the red, so I ended up knitting it about a centimeter longer than I might have otherwise. But I like it! I think the zipper's going to go all the way to the top of the collar so I can zip it up into a funnel-neck. It's gonna be a warm jacket!

I just had that odd Australian moment where I read "funnel-neck' as 'funnel-web'.

But aside from the scary spider imagery, it's a beautiful jacket. :)
