Sweater!

I finished knitting my first sweater last month, but am only now getting around to (crappily) photographing it:



(Gee, it would be nice if there were some broad, flat surface in our home with decent lighting. Alas, that is not the case.)

Anyway, it came out pretty well. The pattern was easy to follow, and the sweater fits perfectly, although the bell sleeves can make eating a little tricky. (It's also less shapeless than this photo makes it look; click through to the pattern to see it on a mannequin.) This may be my one and only sweater though, unless I find a pattern that is largely knit in one piece, as I have confirmed that there is nothing I find more tedious and annoying than sewing seams.

Still, I got it done well before my deadline of "finish before winter ends," and I'm pleased with the results.
