ProseKnitic – of Words und Wolle

Taking some of the wonderful Lima yarn in sage green from Rowan that I scored on that Army-Navy sale, and needles, I pulled a pattern from Knitters’ called Chocolate Diamonds.

Finishing up the front, I decided to actually follow the construction directions. Seaming the first shoulder, I picked up all the stitches for the collar.

all the seaming done

the collar looks a bit long, but when folded down, it really looks nice. And I do like the diamond pattern on the front (and back).
