All Done!

I present my first sweater. 
Top down Raglan formula V-neck with seed stitch edging. The yarn is an unknown worsted weight wool. I love it! The sleeves came out a little shorter than I’d have liked, but they sit properly at 3/4 length so they still seem to work. I wore it yesterday for Knitterpalooza and it did well to stave off the chill. Not too bad for a first time out, and It’ll work well as a fall sweater. I’ve been bit by the bug now, I’m itching to expand into other patterns now and have plans for several other sweaters swimming around in my head.
Knitterpalooza was a blast! Thanks again Kristi for hosting a mess of knitters! We had a great afternoon of shopping and hanging out with knitters in Lansing. It was nice to put faces to some of the blogs I read and meet a whole world of other new-to-me locals.

Yay for the first sweater! I like the flared 3/4 sleeves, even though you didn’t intend for shorter sleeves.
I’m looking forward to seeing more sweaters.

Amazing. My first sweater took 5 months and I was working on it constantly. I love the flared sleeves.
