...little rolled collar! Wait. That's a cowl. Well, yeah. See, even though the vote was clearly on the side of the little rolled hem, I decided, I'm the knitter, I'm the wearer, so I'm going to make what I want!
And I love it. :)
Not that it wouldn't have looked great with the little rolled collar--it would have been adorable. But I planned it as a cowl and I really wanted a cowl, so...
Right now it is blocking on Bertha (my typical blocking method, because it gives the fabric a realistic stretch). It seems to have grown about 3 inches in length, which is what I had planned, so it should fit perfectly, but I'll have to wait until it is dry to be sure. (That's why there are still yarn ends hanging loose. Experience has taught me it is much easier to pick out the bind off if you haven't already woven in the ends prior to blocking. Once I'm sure the length is right, I'll weave in the ends.)
Modeled shots to follow.

I love it! Even if you didn't take my advice (yet) to make a second :-)
I love that cowl. The drapeyness of the neckline agrees with the flowiness of the sweater. And spell-check says I made up both of those words. So sue me!
Luuvvv the cowl!
Nice... Also amazingly good call on the sleeves!
It was lovely without the cowl and equally nice with it. I love that pattern.
