My First Sweater
I've been doing a lot of knitting lately. It is good therapy for my shoulders. I've been knitting so much, I started getting really brave and decided to move on from small things to tackle a sweater. So I hopped on Ravelry, did a search of all 6,875 sweater patterns, and finally downloaded a beautiful cabled number. Fortunately, before I ran off to the yarn store with my credit card, I came to my senses. If I have learned nothing else in my life, I have learned that I tend to bite off more than I can chew. Tackling a beautiful cabled sweater as my very first sweater was bound to be more of a lesson in patience than a lesson in knitting. So I opted for a smaller project to make all my mistakes on, and boy am I ever glad I did. This little infant sweater is full of them, but I still think it is super cute. Too bad the only thing small enough around here to wear it is the cat. She's been hiding from me since I finished. I think she knows.

Oh, it IS cute. Now, a full size version ....
Great job!
I bought myself a doll that wears a size 3T to model my garments. She doesn't grow out of them and doesn't complain that they're itchy.
You did a splendid job. I had to smile when you mentioned about the cat. :)
That's an adorable little sweater. Good job! I think it would look really cute on the cat. :)
Your extra large swatch looks great!! Fine job.
The little sweater is a real cutie and will look adorable on the cat! ;-)
