Another Sweater Refashion

I've been out of commission for most of this month. My mom passed away suddenly four weeks ago.
I did this refashion a while ago. I started out with this sweater/dickey combo thing.


At 1x, it was too big and I wasn't thrilled with the shiny false-shirt fabric. So I removed the dickey, took in the sides, and used scrap yarn to crochet a decorative neck edge.

I love this sweater now.
