It's lovely! Congratulations on your first sweater.
There are innumerable patterns (and books about writing patterns) for seamless sweaters (or seamless knitting in general). If you haven't already, learn circular knitting, and in the case of sweaters, the concept of knitting from the neck (or "top") down. This book: http://www.amazon.com/Knitting-Top-Barbara-G-Walker/dp/0942018095 is great at giving a general visualization of how that works.
And it's a little more daunting, but almost any standard sweater pattern can be converted into being knitted in the round, avoiding most seams.

I also hate seaming. And sewing under ends.
