Success!

Lookie! I finished the collar!

I found the yarn at Romni yesterday and got to work last night (though I wonder why they told me they didn't have it when I needed that other ball last week).  I figured things were looking my way when it turned out to be the same dyelot (again, the other one was too), and I found another ball of the pink mitten yarn in the same dyelot too (wasn't so lucky with the brown, but on two different mittens, who'll know).  And, when I started the new ball on the collar, the yarn was at the exact point where my working yarn stopped--how lucky is that?

And, I the rest went without a hitch.  I have to say, it's a helluva huge collar.  Now I'm resisting the urge to blow off the day and sew in the sleeves.  I better leave the house soon before that's what happens.  Good thing the collar is still wet.

Hooray for those wonderful knitting karma moments when everything works out. That collar is amazingly large, but really does make the whole sweater (I think). Now that I have worn mine several times I think I am going to need to reblock that collar (it's rolling a little bit). I think that may be the nature of the sweater.
