Long Rows

I finished the stripes for the lower edge of the 1919 cape sweater. Those were some very long rows. I didn't pick up the 640 stitches that it called for because 1) that number didn't actually make sense and 2) I didn't want the back to look quite so much like a ruffle as it does in the pattern image. I picked up all the cast off stitches and three stitches for every four rows along the ends of the rows instead of one stitch for every row. I ended up with about 610 stitches, which were still quite enough to be getting on with. With that the knitting is done, and I just have some crochet bits and weaving in ends and sewing on the collar left. It's getting close.
