Notes

This was my first sweater ever! I was so nervous casting on that I let the ribbing sit in a basket for a month so that I could be sure that gauge wouldn’t be an issue (I figured if I put it down and then came back, I would forget what I had cast on and how many stitches to an inch I needed, and measure without bias).

Finally, I finished and bought my buttons just as the Cass Street Depot in Fort Wayne closed their doors forever, a bittersweet moment. I did have buttons, though.

Now it is my favorite sweater, because it was my first sweater project, and it fit too. From what I hear, a wearable first sweater is kind of a big deal. Like wearable first socks.
