Finished Quidditch Sweater

Thursday night I stitched down the collar to the inside of the finished sweater, which completed my Ravenclaw book colors Quidditch sweater. Here are a couple of pictures of the finished sweater. It still needs the soak and block to neaten everything up, but I am pleased with it and wanted to posts pics on it. After blocking it I will have someone take pictures of me wearing it and post them.

  
At the cuffs on the sleeves I needed to decrease several stitches, but did not want to break the K2P2 rib pattern from the sleeves. So on a wrong side row I purled the entire row with the decreases then went back to K2P2 rib on smaller needles. It gave me the tighter cuff without having to go to a K1P1 rib for them.

It's turned out to be a pretty comfy oversized sweater. The sleeves are a touch long on me, but I folded up the cuffs and it works out alright. FYI, it is made of Wool of The Andes, Winter Night and Maple Syrup. I still have several balls of yearn left so I plan to make a matching scarf and hat for myself out of it.
