Did you ever put something in the dryer and then forget about it? I almost did that but fortunately, I know I get distracted easily so I have a habit of setting the timer for ten minutes to bring me back to zero.
I was almost sick as I dashed
for the dryer imagining a mini-elvis! I got there in time and it was good! 
After
getting the second front done, I seamed that dart/vee neck shaping, grafted the two longer pieces together to form
the back neck of the shawl collar, folded the facing in and stitched the two
layers into the back neck. Did the rest of the seaming and finishing and eucalaned
it https://knitwords.blogspot.com/2018/01/dirty-laundry.htmlthen steamed it. It is a little on the big side, but I’ll blame that on my half swatches. Not that I really mind – I think it is supposed to be a little loose and slouchy, something to wear when you’re sort of lounging around with company. Would I make it again? Yes, for someone else but I’d use a nice wool that is a little more predictable than Elvis was because it would turn out much better - I did like the way the collar turned out and I had fun experimenting!
