D-Day Minus One

Jammie's almost done. I finally finished the collar and I've sewed the right side and sleeve seams. All I have left is the other side and about a hundred ends to weave in. Here's a shot with the sewn side and cuff:
It's a big puppy. The collar was supposed to be 24 cm., then folded in half, but I figured that would just swallow me up so I bound off after 17 cm. I'm not all that fond of turtlenecks and usually convert most necklines to a crew neck, but I didn't think that would work out that well for this pattern so I decided to go ahead and make the turtleneck. The 17 cm. gives me just enough volume. It's a little tight, but I don't feel like I'm being buried alive.

Here's a closer shot of the collar:
I really like the way this sweater feels. It's thick and carries a lot of heft, but it's not overly heavy, which is good considering how much yarn there is. It's going to keep me nice and warm on Saturday.
