While making the sweater I was very frustrated with the yarn. However, now that I'm done, I love the look. The sweater just looks cozy to me.
I modified the pattern slightly and didn't knit as many rows on the neck as the pattern called for. Therefor mine is more of a mock turtleneck than a rolled neck, but I like how it looks.
I wish I had a baby to try it on, but it's for a small infant and my big head Ciaran can't get his head through the neck hole. Incidentally, that was a good lesson, I really need to learn to cast off loosely. I'm a tight knitter to begin with so I have to very consciously try to knit loose and cast off loose.
