Pictures of the rice stitch cardigan will be coming soon.
Ribbing is my nemesis. Or perhaps it is any stitch pattern with a count of 4, of which K2 P2 rib is only one of many options. Needless to say the ribbed collar to the rice-stitch cardigan was not error free. All those late night knitting hours were probably not the best idea. But it is done.
I did not rip the collar out and start over. That promised too many hours of work with little guarantee that the same errors would not be repeated. Instead, as I bound off the edge of the collar, I simply dropped stitches whenever I found a column which contained a purl that should have been a knit stitch, or a knit stitch that should have been a purl. About 2 hours of work were still involved, as I figure I dropped about one-third of the columns of stitches, but not nearly as many hours as would have been required to reknit the entire collar.
All that is left is the edging along the lower front, the buttons and the buttonholes.
Then, perhaps, Spring knittnig. Or not.
