Tree sweater from custom punchcard

This sweater is the result of the custom punchcard I showed in  an earlier post. I believe it was my first attempt at drawing a custom knit contour pattern as well.


As you can see, there were some issues.


Aside from a botched collar, there are many patterning errors. I might have left it alone despite the patterning flaws, but the collar is so itchy and uncomfortable, I'll be unravelling it and starting over. It is extraordinarily warm, for fingering weight yarn (LB1878), so I decided to wait on the deconstruction till after winter was over. I actually finished it before Christmas 2010.
