October Frost, Finished
Here it is! With buttons and everything blocked. To recap the details and changes I've made:
October Frost from A Fine Fleece, knit in Peace Fleece Worsted - Samantha Katya Pink on US 6's and 8's (4.0mm and 5.0mm). This is the smallest size in the pattern.
On the sleeve cuffs I reversed the rib halfway up so they would fold over nicely.
On the collar, I knit the first 2 inches on US 6's (4.0mm), then did an inch on US 7's (4.5mm) and finished on US 8's (5.0mm). A collar like this needs to be wider the farther from the neckline you get in order to lay nicely.
Those are the only changes I made to the pattern as written, and it's written very well.
I love the cables, I love the shape of it - oversized and comfy, and I love the way it looks. Now I just need a little bit cooler weather!

Gorgeous! Thanks for the info about the needle size change on the collar - I'm at the 2" spot on mine and will take your advice and switch to size 7 next. Shirley, in PA

Your gorgeous sweater makes me long for a good fall day with cool temps and bright sunshine!
It's perfect! A lovely sweater.
If you're looking for cooler weather to wear your sweater, come to norther New York, we have a frost advisory in effect for this evening.
Wow. Gorgeous. You inspired me to purchase the book and give the patterns a try - they are lovely.
Your yarn choice is also fabulous - *love* the color!
I agree, it is gorgeous!
Lovely! You inspire me to go back and finish mine. I've knitted the pieces, but as usual got stuck at the blocking stage. Don't you just love the book? I think it is my all time favorite.
Lovely - love the color & the buttons matched so well.
Oh my! It's lovely. I really need to get started on mine! Maybe next month.
