Addendum

I tried to get the earlier post out early, because I am learning that, at the moment at least, my most focused time is in the early mornings.  As a result I didn't completely think things through.

The first photo I posted of me wearing the sweater bothered me for several reasons but as I moved through my morning, constantly readjusting the sweater, it dawned on me that the main source of my discomfort was that there is no closure on this sweater and I am not really a fan of open sweaters at least on myself.  

 The immediate solution was to sew a hook and eye at the neckline.   Fastening a sweater only a the neck and allowing it to swing free is one of my favorite looks and I am very happy with this.  Unfortunately, I do not have any really tiny hooks right now and the smallest one I had is still too large and it shifts around dragging the sweater out of alignment.   Luckily I was planning on placing an order with Atlanta Thread in the near future and I can easily add tiny hooks to the order.  

 In the meantime I feel more "finished" and pulled together, and the sweater now makes a much more flattering line.  Well, it would it I hadn't gotten it bunched up in my belt so that it pulls over the bust, but although part of me wants to go get a more perfect picture, another part of me suspects that I tend to look more bunched and rumpled than sleek and pulled together most days.

I will wear the sweater open at the neckline on occasion, most likely belted over a skirt or a dress. Now, at least, I have the option of choice.
