My First Sweater

This was on the cover of knit.1 magazine (fall 2006) and I thought it was so cute. A bit ambitious of me to want to tackle it since I was still in my first lesson, but Ann at the Yarn Garden is very encouraging and thought it was a good progression from a scarf. This was a great project as I learned to read a pattern and make use of alot of the stitch techniques to shape the sweater, bind off, etc. So cool to see the sweater take form. I still have to sew the seams together (not my favorite thing to do), but I'm almost there!! I'm so in love with the Misti Alpaca yarn used in this sweater...so yummy!
