1919: Done!

The thunder and rain stopped and the sun came out just in time to take a few pictures of my completed Goldie Golf Sweater from 1919. I think I really like it! It's very much unlike any sweater I currently own and it's super cozy and warm. For the knitting play-by-play and pattern modifications, see this post.

Greeting my counterpart in 1919!

I love the collar: it's wide, warm, and has a very pleasing crochet edging.

The pattern called for a 2-yard-long sash. I found that it looked best when crossed at the back and knotted at the front. I guess it can double as a scarf if needed!

*I want to mention (read: brag) that I bought exactly the right amounts of yarn.

Maybe for the first time ever.
