Ingeborg body
It's unblocked, and the steeks won't be cut for a while, but here's the Ingeborg body:
For the front neck, I cast off 11 stitches on either side of the steek, plus the steek, casting on for a new steek on the next round. Then I knit 12 rounds with single decreases on either side of the front neck steek. For the back neck, I mostly followed the directions in the book, except that I cast on for a back neck steek so I could knit in the round. The body ended up being exactly four pattern repeats tall, plus the bottom hem and a few rounds of solid colors on the shoulders. I think I'm going to eventually do a 3 needle bindoff, which is why I haven't cast off that last row.
Next up? Probably the Mamlukes for Sockapaloooza. Or maybe an Ingeborg sleeve. Or the second GWTF sock. I feel a bit knitted out right now, so choosing what to do next feels a bit like going to the grocery store after eating a 10 course meal.

This is just so freakin' impressive. And so out of my league I can't even comment on it meaningfully. Looks great!
It looks great. Glad the neck steeking worked out for you. Can't wait to see how the sleeves turn out. :)
Dang, Rebekkah, it's gorgeous. I would continue the KAL just to see the whole thing done!

wow. it looks beautiful - a very special piece. thanks for sharing!
So beautiful, and I love the contrast of the black and white.
Even your steeks are perfect!
I love the analogy - it's like we gorge ourselves on knitting.
Beautiful! Just gorgeous. I'll definitely be coming back to this (and your other Ingeborg posts) for inspiration and information when I finally get around to starting the sweater myself someday.
That is some serious sweater! Gorgeous.
I so love your knitting; I am usually a bad lurker - your work does tend to leave one speechless. Very impressive. Just so gorgeous; can't wait to see the finished piece!
Wow, that is stunning!
