Here’s my Mom’s Franca, all knitted but needs a little seaming/grafting and ends woven in and blocking. I wanted to do that tonight but I’m fried. I will try again tomorrow. Maybe if I get to it in the morning before work?
Knitting, sewing, gardening, and the occasional gluten-free recipe.

I like how the pockets look so naturally inset.

Nice! You’ve been teasing us with this for a while – hope we also get to see it blocked! And how does the neckline work? Or to be more accurate, how is it worked?

It’s proprietary, but first you knit the collar,then shoulders, so it’s top down. The neckline is s1k1 and is gradually increased to the bust. I would highly recommend this book, Cocoknits Sweater Workshop, and to knit at least one sweater in this method. I learned a lot!
