Abundantly Amused

Done!

I really love it. I finished it Wednesday night, but wasn't happy with the bind off on the collar--it's a 2x2 with reversible cables and it was a bit wobbly. So Thursday I undid the BO row and worked it the BO on the WS as follows: k1, k2tog, p2, k2tog p2... And it was much better.

The yarn I used was Briar Rose Abundance that I picked up a few Rhinebecks ago. It's marked as a worsted but was really nice at 4sts to the inch--I would call if more of a chunky. Once washed, it's lofty and pretty soft.

The Amused pattern is without fault. Very nicely written. I chose to used a tubular sewn bindoff for the hem and cuffs to keep things stretchy.

It took a ton of time but the results were worth it.
