Good thing I'm posting this just as summer's ending, I feel like I'm getting it in just under the radar. I actually finished this almost a month ago, but neglected to take FO pics. As it is, I'm not completely happy with it--I knit the provisional cast-on at the neck edge into my knitting, so it flips up ever so slightly (alas, I did not see TechKnitter's post about sewn hems until I was doing my sleeves), the neckline is wider than I would prefer (it's almost Flashdance-esque) and I think the yoke is too big. It's quite roomy. But non-itchy, since it's merino and linen (Louet MerLin, worsted).
In theory, I'd wanted a nice, plain sweater, but now that I see it in picture form, it's quite plain. Boring even. So I'm thinking of frogging it and turning it into a Short-Sleeved Cardigan with Ribbing from Stefanie Japel's Fitted Knits, but with long sleeves and worsted weight instead of bulky. And a different increase because I'm not sure I really care for the holey YOs. But the linen made it kind of a pain to knit with, and having to knit another sweater with that yarn. . . but it would be great to have something wearable. To be continued. . .
