Responsible

 

I've made a lot of progress on my Relax pullover.  After blocking, I've joined the shoulder seams and sewn the side seams.  I also went ahead and knit the neck band.  The pattern calls for a rolled stockinette neck band but I decided to do a ribbed one, matching the ribbing from the hem and sleeve hems (which haven't been knit yet).  Now all I have to do is pick up stitches for the sleeves and knit them.  All the yarn ends at this point are woven in also.  I feel like such a responsible knitter!

I tried it on after the seams were sewn and the neckband was finished so I could figure out sleeve length.  That should save me some time knitting them.  As I expected, I'll be adding some length to the sleeves.  I do like the fit of the sweater so far!
