It feels like I've been working on this forever, but my Tecumseh is finally finished! This is my first colorwork sweater, and it was so much fun to learn and make. I initially finished the yoke in a cheaper yarn that wouldn't hold up very well in the long run, so my first restart was to work it with better yarn. The second restart was after the entire thing was finished (Ouch) and it was just too big in a bad way. I finally sized down and completed the body to my liking and started on the ordeal that was knitting the sleeves. I couldn't decide if I wanted to make them balloon sleeves, or just longer versions of the original pattern. In the end, and after many rip-outs, I did a mix of the two. I'm in love, and ecstatic to finally be finished with it.
