Tilted Duster Progress (soon to be frogged)

Well, I finished the collar on my Tilted Duster this afternoon and, well...I'm going to have to redo it.

I saw a few different versions on Ravelry, but couldn't really picture it until it was done. I had a feeling I might have to knit this part more than once and it didn't really take very long, so it doesn't bother me too much.

My plan is to add a third button closer to the pick up row and put the button holes on the purl stitches. I also added a garter border to the bottom of the skirt, and I'm not sure how it will block out on the ribbed part, so that may also get ripped back a few rows.

That said, I think I might be able to get this done in about a week or so. I can't wait.

Comments:
I can't wait to see it. I all I have left is the skirt on mine and I have stalled.
 
Join the crowd with your Tilted Duster collar. I think I frogged mine more than once, the first time because my first buttonhole was too far away from the pick up row, and the second time because I wanted to tighten up the buttonholes. I have seen many blogs of knitters who have knit this collar more than once. Fortunately it doesn't take too long.
