In the last week I finished up the annoying little details and my Cozy Stripes Sweater is now complete!
I have not blocked yet, because I'm too excited to wear it now!
The weaving in of ends took the longest and is my least favorite thing to do. lol.
There ended up being two dropped stitches that I had marked, Both are now fixed.
The sewing on of buttons went quickly and the button holes are nearly invisible... I remember thinking this when I made them, so I (may) spend some time making them more apparent with stitching... later
Ultimately this project took 8.25 months of work, with a 3.5 month summer break leading to one week shy of 12 months from start to finish and just shy of 1300 total yards.
