FO: Lopi Sweater

Mid-July saw a knitting hiatus on the lopi sweater because it was just too dang humid, but about a week and a half ago I finished it:

And a closeup of the yoke:

I loved working on this sweater; two-color stranding is fun, the yarn is wonderfully woolly and lofty, and the yoke decrease technique is particularly gratifying. The other detail of this pattern that I particularly like is the picot edge on the neckband. I have a tendency to bind off too tightly on neck edges, so the picot edge mitigates some of that.

I still have to weave in all of those ends ... but it's about 85 degrees here, so there's no rush, because I won't be able to wear it for a couple of months!

And I have lots of yarn left over for mittens and hats!
