Since I was worried about running out of yarn, I decided to go ahead and do the applied icord finishing on the shoulders and neck of this sweater.
My mind, she is blown.
It's kind of a pain, since you end up knitting four stitches for each stitch, and I had to pick up a lot, but the finished product is amazing. It just adds something that polishes the sweater so very much. I was concerned because some of it was curling, but the applied icord just made it so much more substantial. I am in love, and am considering adding it to another sweater that I've been working on.
I'm just about to my waist on the sweater, and I think I will keep going until I am out of yarn. I might need to buy another skein, but a four skeined vest for the price of one? I can definitely handle that.
