Gansey progress

I'm ready for sleeves.  Its nice to know how it fits as I go so I can rip accordingly.  So far so good except I may redo the neck with just a couple rows of garter stitch.  It feels too much like a turtle neck for me.  I wish the stitches showed up better in the photo.  The patterns are just simple knit purl combinations of zig zags, checks, diamonds, diagonals and stripes.  Easy peasy so far.  Pick up the stitches for the sleeves tonight.
The days keep getting a little cooler --Ann--
