Finally, I can present some finished pictures of Antrorse. I still haven’t received my buttons in the mail, but I was tired of not being able to wear it, so I found some buttons at my LYS that I think I like even more than the wooden ones I ordered.
They’re very matchy matchy, but they’re slightly smaller than the pattern calls for. For now, I’m happy with it because I think this sweater doesn’t work well for me when unbuttoned. I had my doubts about the whole thing till I put buttons on it, but now I really like it. 
I still might add an additional 1/2 inch to inch of sleeve length. I really like sleeves to go over my hand a bit. I made the 34″ size in Cascade Eco+, in the color Satine. I used about 804 yards for this size. I didn’t really add any length as the sweater was already a length I liked. I made a few shaping modifications. You can read about them on my Ravelry project page.
I made one other mod that I feel like is essential for me. The super stretchy garter stitch at the top was slipping down my shoulders in a way that I didn’t really like. I wanted to give it a firmer stopping point. I remembered a Yarn Harlot post that mentioned crochet chains that act as firmly as a bind off would. I decided to try that: 
That’s a picture of the inside of the collar. I think the bottom crochet chain row, applied right over the bottom edge of the garter stitch is the only one I really need. I put the second one in as additional support, but it might not be entirely necessary. I think it does help a bit at the top of the shoulders though.
I finished this just in time for 2-12 degree Fahrenheit weather. Brrrrr! 
And of course, I can sit around in one teal sweater while knitting another. Hahhaha.
Beautiful sweater! I hope I can do something like this one day too!
Haha, that last picture!! This is lovely and that color looks SO GOOD on you!
I love it! The sweater looks AWESOME on you, and I think the buttons are totally perfect. The crochet reinforcement is a really good tip, too, I definitely have a sweater that could benefit from that!
Gorgeous! And the teal is a lovely rich colour.
With the crocheted chains, do you mean that you just knit as normal and then crochet chains on top afterwards? That sounds like a genius idea, and it looks great.
Yep! It’s an afterthought attachment in this case.
Teal looks really good on you. Beautiful pattern!
Love it! Teal is a nice bright color for winter 🙂
I think the buttons look great! Great sweater! 🙂
What a great colour on you!
Wow! This looks great! The color looks awesome on you! I really like this sweater!
Lovely! One of my favorite colors 🙂
Beautiful sweater! I really like the last picture 🙂
I literally bought this pattern this weekend and can’t wait to get started!
Haha, love that last shot! Awesome!
This is amazing! I really, really love this design. Apparently, you are one of the few people who really look good in teal!
The last picture is so beautiful – and, btw, I love your hairdo. 😀
Fabulous jumper!
Really lovely jumper, and I love that colour! 🙂
Wow! That’s absolutely gorgeous, and a great tip about using a crochet chain to stabilize garter stitch. Will have to remember that!
Fabulous jumper /sweater
You look so happy in your new sweater ~ it’s gorgeous!
Teal everywhere! I love your Antrorse! I’m so glad you knit this before me, because I love your crochet chain support row tip. I can see that being useful in lots of different situations. It is beautiful, Cassy. I literally cannot wait to start one of these now.
Oh to be half as talented as you! I love how you just alter patterns like it’s so easy!! Love seeing all your creations, living vicariously through you ~ while in reality I struggle to finish the most basic of sweaters. I knit soo slowly! Your knitting is great motivation to persist in becoming a better knitter!
I’m so excited to finally see this on you! i Love how it turned out!!! You look gorgeous in that color too! So pretty on you! Thank you so much for your support of the book/pattern and I’m so glad you enjoyed it! This made my day!
it’s gorgeous, and i love the collar. and the colour 🙂 you look stunning in it 🙂
this is so gorgeous, you’ve totally inspired me to make one. now i just need to decide on a yarn and a color…
lovely work!
That is definitely your color! The buttons go really nicely with the sweater, too. A very lovely sweater all around.
This sweater is lovely and looks fab. I wish I had the confidence to make adjustments to a pattern. How long did it take you?
This took about 8 days. It’s pretty thick yarn on larger needles, and I was lucky enough to be knitting it over Christmas break when I had lots of free knitting time. 🙂
That’s still impressive. All I managed over my time off was a 20cm crochet square for my patchwork blanket!
Teal is absolutely your color. The sweater is beautiful. You did a wonderful job. It is perfect on you.
I love that colour! And it really looks lovely on you. Great sweater. Think I might have to give it a go…it gets mighty cold here in Egypt…believe it or not!
Your sweater looks amazing, I love that collar!
This sweater is very nice ! I love the construction ; )
I can’t wait till I am advanced enough to make sweaters! I am still on hats and scarves!
Such an excellent sweater, and exactly what I wish was in my wardrobe during this very cold (polar vortex!) winter.
Beautiful sweater and love the colour!
Love it! Great color, too! This is on my list to knit over the next few months, so I’m especially grateful for your tip on the collar – I’d wondered how that was going to lay.
Gorgeous sweater! Like everyone else, I love the colour and it really suits you. I especially love it with that pop of neon showing through under the hem!
Love that colour !
Thanks for the tip of the crochet chain – it it thé solution for my celery cardigan 🙂
I’m a teal hound too – definitely can’t complain about that last picture! I tend to have shoulder slippage issues with wide collars too; I will try your crochet chain idea!
Amazing knotwork and I am in love with the colour!
