Current progress. I'm a little skeptical about the collar (it just seems too big) altho I know from the washed swatch that it should shrink a bit--it went from 16 sts/4in to 15sts/4in. Not much shrinkage. I'll keep going with it at least until I've divided the sleeves--I might put it on yarn and wash it then to see how it fits.

I plan to add some white stripes (not bright white--I have a cone of off white I want to use, or at least I hope I have it. Either left it at home or someone stole it out of my bag today) like 1 or 2 rounds just occasionally. Maybe every 20 or 40 rounds. We'll see what looks good.

I'm also not positive that the black cast on edge will turn out how I wanted it to. I should have knit the first row in black, too. Oh well.

Look, I bought this hand-dyed cotton yarn at a craft fair in January. Took me ages to decide on what to do with it. Shortly after I started this project, I gave myself tendonitis in both hands, so I could only work in the tiniest bursts on it.

Now the hands are better, and even though my thumbs still hurt, I am able to get my hands used to crochet again in a safe fashion.

I was able to finish this two days ago and blocked it over night. I am so happy I can do crochet projects again, if slowly. Just look at it! It reminds me of rainbow fluorite.
