Finally done: Kashmir

A year ago I started my Kashmir sweater. After a long summer stop I picked up knitting on it during autum. And beginning December I finally had enough length to lay the bottom flat and to measure. A day later I had this:

It was to smal. I could have knitted on, hoping one day I would fit the sweater, but was afraid I would lose faith in the project. So I ripped it, steamed my yarn, bought bigger needles and casted on a few extra stitches and started all over again.
Beginning of February I was back at the point where I had ripped it all and this time it was ok.

Half March the body was done:


Beginning of April the sleeves were knitted and the steeks sewn and cut.

The pattern has a rolled hem at the neck line, which I do not like. So I used this way of making it look like the bottom and sleeve hems.

And now it's done. Finally.
