The neck came up excellently & the whole thing is looking fabbo. Remember that textured adult male sweaters use more yarn & take much longer than female sweaters. I have to buy 23 balls of 50g dk for my sweaters which is a big difference from say 10-12 of some of our fellow bloggers. Personally, with everything else, I think your progress is fine & on par with my snail's pace :-)) Hi Jerry, the blog pic looks OK to me.

I think it looks great - even the neck gussets - and since it takes me ages to finish anything, your progress sounds sort of speedy to me. Can't wait to see it finished. What's next????

Are you picking up into the edge stitch or between it and the next stitch? If you are picking up into the center of the edge stitch, that MIGHT be what is giving you the appearance of "holes." Regardless, the sweater is looking breathtakingly beautiful. Just had a thought about your “holes” under the picked up stitches.

Some patterns say to pick up stitches with the smaller needle size used for ribbing and then switch to the regular size during the next row. A beautiful job you’re doing!
