I gave myself a little extra knitting time this weekend and finished a couple things. It's always such a good feeling to see empty needles.
This was a quick finish. I didn't have much left on this Love Note (Ravelry link), but I did run out of yarn with just four rounds left at the bottom of the second sleeve. I didn't want to break into a new skein for four rounds and a bind off, but I found a leftover bit kicking around. All good.
I've made this sweater at least two other times, but this is the first one without the lace yoke. Plain stockinette throughout.
Other mods . . . I made the body a little longer than the pattern suggests, and I added short rows to the back neck. The yarn is Lillian held with Shimmer, both in Persimmon.
Since my usual Monday schedule is a little off with the holiday, I have some "extra time" on my hands. I'll definitely be casting on something new later today.
