Wow. Just wanted to say that for a first attempt at a sweater, this is one of the nicest hand-knitted sweaters I've seen! I'm a total beginner... This is gorgeous and gives me hope for myself someday... lol.

I had a question: I'm knitting this very sweater, and I'm following the directions and it tells me to knit garter, la la la, but I notice in the pictures the collar is one texture and the body's is completely different. garter and purl? but the directions dont say anything about switching. I'm super confused. help?

Christine - if you look as good as that at
7:45 AM, you could wear almost anything!
We sister knitters celebrate your pride in
completing such a well fitting and attractive garment!! Hooray for you!
