Finished Things!

I finished the James pullover and it's all blocked!  I ended up using the neckline from the pattern, which was not a narrow ribbed edging, but a rolled stockinette edge.  It was just the perfect, narrow finish to the neckline.  This means that except for the sleeve length I knit the pattern as written.  The sleeves in the pattern are 7/8 length and I prefer either long sleeves or 3/4 length.  I made these 3/4 length. 

The pattern was a nice, easy knit and I'm really happy how it worked out with my handspun yarn.  There's A-line shaping in the body and the BFL and silk really work well with this to drape and hang nicely.  I can't wear this anytime soon, but I'm pretty sure this will be in high rotation once it gets cooler.  (So, late October maybe.)

Speaking of handspun, I've finished the fourth bobbin of raspberry singles.  I've only got two more bobbins to spin this full, and then three final less full bobbins.  By weight, I'm past the halfway point of this spinning project.
