This is Therin's sweater, for which I just purchased the zipper. Seems almost done? Nope. The collar will be as much knitting as any other piece was, and facings/button bands, then zipper. Lots of work to go.

While seaming, I was wondering what was going on with the cuffs. Oh yeah. They're flared.
