Bohemian Bluestocking

Without further ado, a photo of the first sweater, sans one sleeve, but almost there. It is really done, so this picture is a bit old. And as with every "first" I am having issues:

• the sleeves are much too long (3 inches, oops).  You'd think, because I make clothes for a living, I could measure and calculate properly. nope.
• The collar won't roll, and is too short. I am going to have to pull it out and start over. Never mind that I've woven everything in. oops.
• Because it's a one-button cardigan, the front edges are rolling a bit. I think I might single crochet(and I HATE to crochet, mind you) up the front sides and add a separating zipper for a cleaner finish.

So not a terribly long list of corrections. It is wearable, just not to the point when people say "you knit that?" I don't respond with just "Thank you." I respond with the list of corrections. oops.
