Notes

One month in and almost finished the ribbing. I have to say for a first sweater (first thing knitted other than a hat or scarf) I’m not disappointed and actually surprised how much I enjoy it and how fast it seems to go.

6 skeins of yarn in and I guess I’m half way the part below the ribbing.

Finished the body today! sweat_smile I was so happy when i finished the last row, but I forgot I needed to bind it off as well. I used an Italian bind off and it took AGES.
The body used 9 skeins of yarn.

Finished first sleeve. Took about 1.5 skeins of yarn.
Measured about 4 times and when I tried it on after finishing it it was still a bit too short shrug

Finished.
Amazed I actually finished a sweater for myself on such small needles, that took me almost 3 months to finish.
I’m really happy with it and am kind of sad the weather is getting warmer and springlike, so I will have to wait a couple of months until I can wear it.
