I Finished It!

My sweater, that is. My very first sweater!

I learned so much from working on this sweater. I figured out how to shape a collar, how to block the pieces, how to knit the shoulders together, and how to seam. I had planned to get help from the nice lady at the yarn store, but then I decided it would be more fun (and a better learning experience) to do everything myself. Typical Aspie, I know, but what can I do?

It’s actually chilly enough tonight for me to wear it. Our mornings have been below freezing lately, so I might get a little more wear out of it before spring begins in earnest. I’d much rather have the spring start already, but since it’s taking its time, the sweater is a nice consolation prize.

    Nice work! I really love the color, too. I wish I had the patience to knit. I do crochet – mostly small blankets and things for my daughter’s dolls and bears. I adore completed projects!
