The first sleeve of Francis Again took me three weeks to finish. Now, I'll admit I was distracted by other things, like Mosaic Madness, but still, three weeks is an unreasonable length of time for a single sleeve. So yesterday, when I finally bound off the first sleeve, I immediately cast on the second and decided to knit until it was done.
As you can see, it's done! (I know the sleeves look really short--it's deliberate. This yarn is going to grow like a teenager in the summertime when it hits water, so I knitted everything short in anticipation of wet blocking.)I've been looking forward to casting on the lovely, large cowl neck, but when I tried this on, my husband took one look and insisted I not put on a collar at all, or if I had to have one, just a minimal little rolling edge collar. Now, I really want the cowl, but he made me agree to ask the blog for its opinion first.
So what say you, Blog?
Large, floppy cowl?
Or little, rolled edge?We await your decision.

Clearly, the answer is to knit a second sweater so you can have one with the cowl neck and one with a little rolled edge :-)
I vote cowl!
Little rolled edge.
I opt for small rolled collar!
Rolled edge!
Little rolled edge. It looks lovely!
little rolled edge will be just fine ;-)
As is. Or knit the cowl and then I can decide.
I think RebKnitz is right, clearly the only way to settle this is to knit a second sweater. If that is impossible, I vote for the cozy cowl neck
Cowl - and I am glad you are back on a regular basis. I missed you.
Little rolled edge! It's adorable that way.

Little rolled edge and then a separate detached cowl to wear with it when desired.
I agree with Julie - knit the cowl separatley to give yourself options.
Definitely the cowl!
make the cowl but don't attach it - removable cowl!
