Notes

Making me a sweater! Seen as the majority of my projects seem to be for everyone else, I thought it was high time I made something for me.

Lets see how it goes!

15/05/14 - well, im about a third in. I took a little time getting my head around the sleeve insertion round, but I think I have cracked it and can actually see a sweater appearing! Feeling very encouraged at this point :-)

27/05/14 - Its finished! I ended up straying from the pattern for the bottom half as I was struggling to get my head around the sleeve insertion, but it turned out ok after all! If I were to do it again - I would increase the rounds near my hips as I didn’t and it is a little snug (although im hoping it will stretch out a little as I wear it). Ive already had loads of compliments so a success, I say!
