I normally lj-cut photos, but I'm just too excited about this.


THE SWEATER IS DONE!!!!



I look like hell, and you can really tell how much I need to clean my bedroom, but the sweater is done!!!! And I even remembered to put on the jewelry I made to go with it before I snapped my pic.

I'm not entirely thrilled with the neckline---it's choking me a bit right now. I don't think I picked up quite enough stitches in the front at first, and then I bound it off so tightly that it wouldn't fit over my head and I had to redo it. But it's done, and it's wearable and most of all, it fits, unlike my prior attempts at garments.

Hooray!!!! On with the new projects.

And oh yeah, all the other crap I'm supposed to be doing this weekend that I've as of yet ignored. oops.

Thanks! There are parts where the pattern seemed confusing to me, but once I had knitted up to that point, it made every bit of sense. I had another raglan sweater pattern nearby for when I got stuck. This was my first attempt at something with sleeves, and it was much easier than I expected.
