I finally finished the sweater for that knitalong I mentioned a couple months ago. I wanted to wait until I had blocked the sweater to get rid of the stitch unevenness before I blogged about it here, so that I could show the final results.

I think the sweater came out beautifully. The unevenness of my colorwork went away in blocking, so that’s awesome. I added an extra 1” in the bodice before the steeks, and I almost think I could’ve done a little more! The only thing I’m concerned about is the fact that it seems to bulge a bit at the point where the ribbing ends and the colorwork begins. It did it pre-blocking as well, so I’m not sure what’s up with that. Maybe it’s not so bad though, we’ll see.

It took like 2 days to dry, but the bodice is finally ready for modeling! Here I am in my sweater—don’t mind the serious expression—it was taken early in the morning (why yes, those ARE pajama pants!) :)
