All ends have been sewn in, it's been soaked, rolled in a towel to take out excess moisture and then patted out on my blocking mats with a couple of strategically-placed pins and left to dry.
I'm really pleased with this sweater. It fits really well - not too baggy, but with just, perhaps, a smidgeon of negative ease.

I wore it to knitting group yesterday morning and it was admired by the lovely ladies there. But then it go too warm inside the hall where we meet as the sun was shining through the floor-to-ceiling windows and I had to take it off.
I'm now back to knitting socks and a scarf and debating what I'm going to knit as my next sweater. I have a couple of thoughts, which I'll come back to.
Oh my goodness! This is absolutely gorgeous!
