This is good mindless knitting, for reading, or watching TV. I did set this aside while I concentrated on my Celestial Socks, but pulled it out again this weekend when I decided on what I was going to do to finish the neck and armholes. I-Cord. The typical finish would be ribbing, but I really didn’t want to do that. I thought about some sort of fancy knit on edging, but in the end decided to just keep it simple. The color is Skein 24. I am going to continue knitting until I have used up the rest of the Advent set, and I will do another I-cord bind off at the end. If I do another one of these I will start with an I-cord cast on and work short rows to get all of the shaping, which I think will give a nicer neck line. I have started adding some increases to give a little more ease as I go over my hips. The top portion has about 3-4 inches of ease, so I will probably try to keep that ease amount going.
