After a few false starts (I cast on too few stitches the first time and I managed to twist the stitches when joining and worked a mobius for 2″), I think I’m on my way with my son’s not-too-boring sweater.
It’s hard to see in this dark yarn (and my poor photography) but there’s about an inch of ribbing at the base that turns into very wide ribs for the lower body. I have plans to add a subtle stitch pattern between the wide ribs in the yoke, but my plans may change by the time I get there.
