craftgrrlHere is a picture of my first knit sweater. I'm so proud of it and got so much confidence from the compliments that strangers gave to me about it when I wore it today. There are tons of mistakes of course but overall I'm very satisfied by how it turned out. Hope you guys like it! Remember it's my first one!
Pattern- 'To Dye For' page 198 in Stitch n' Bitch
Yarn- Rowan Polar 60% wool 30% alpaca and 10% acrylic( I don't remember the name of the color)
Needles- Size 11 bamboo circulars
Deviations from Pattern The sleeves came out about 3 rows too long so instead of re-knitting them I just rolled them up and steamed them into place. The patterns also called for mohair yarn but I chose wool instead.
Estimated Knitting Time- The sweater me took 2 weeks to complete.
Up Next- Punk Rock Backpack on page 174, The monkey pattern!
