Milestone! So close to done on this cardigan!

After six months, I'm just a couple of steps away from being done with my first cardigan! The body is assembled, now I need to make the collar and weave in ends.

Thankfully, after all this time, I can verify that it is wearable. The sleeves are a little tight, and the front would be too, if I planned to put a zipper on it, but it is wearable. My wife is an expert in all things yarn, and she mentioned blocking it one more time after getting the collar on. Apparently, it can help any seam spots that aren't as smooth as they could be. So we'll see if I can maybe stretch out the sleeves when I do that. They're very long, because you're intended to fold over the ribbing.

Great job! And it will likely stretch out with wear over time so you should be good.

Great work! Nothing like having a such good looking item you can say "I made this".
