So I'm working on the cardigan above and I'm really enjoying it. A LOT. Not using a pattern and relying completely on my own small brain is very challenging and thrilling. But I've been purposely saving the tops of the fronts for last because I kept changing my mind about how to go about the neck area in general. I am a big fan of collars. I like fabric around or in the vicinity of my neck because I don't like a draft. This is a transitional sort of lightweight sweater so it could go either way - cozier with more collar, or more summery without.After several hours of thinking and sketching about this (I'm a slow and frequently interrupted thinker) this morning, I think I've decided on no collar. Ha. Done. Now I can knit on. I hope to finish this soon to show you.
I'm also doing a minor destash (Ravelry link). I just can't knit everything I own.
Have a great weekend!

I say go no collar for this time of year. Then, you can still wear it in the fall with a shirt with a collar on it, and pull it out over the cardigan. Great color! ~Jan
