Orbits Sweater

Decided to put the hooded scarf aside and start with this first.

As usual I’m knitting the smallest size. Folded collar looks nice, but I don’t want to deal with the CO edge so I decided to do a provisional cast on instead. I think this is actually my first time doing provisional cast on in the round, so a little confused about whether I should join the round for the waste yarn. Found a YouTube tutorial about this so followed what she did. I also looked at Suzanne B’s other tutorial which is casting on directly on the cable. It is quite interesting, but after trying by myself I found it would be way too fiddly for joining in the round, and I don’t want to mess up with over 100+ CO sts. Hence I’m just gonna to go with my previous method. I’ll have a lifeline anyways so just one more step.
