You guessed it!!! I finally ventured into the sweater realm. . .my very first sweater. Remember I vaguely wrote about my commitment issues? Well, I decided to start with a child's sweater since that would be small and wouldn't commit me to too much time. My mom found this really super easy cardigan, yeah right!!! it has buttonholes that need to be spaced out evenly to wit, I have never placed buttons or made buttonholes on anything!! Well that is the part I have arrived at and luckily for me, I was able to contact Carole Wulster of The Knitting Software site. She has been extremely helpful in helping me or rather should I say, she figured out the calculations for the placement of the buttonholes on my sweater. I will shortly put that information to the task. Anyway she has this wonderful program called The Knitting Math Wizard which is supposed to help people like me with such issues. . .I have it on order!! Visit her site at http://knittingsoftware.com/ .
The yarn I used for this project is Lorna's Laces Hand-Dyed Yarns, Shepherd Worsted 100% Superwash Wool. I got a great buy on this yarn as it was labeled "Mill End" or "Oddball" yarns, purchased from Jimmy Beans Wool (http://www.jimmybeanswool.com/). The colorway is Jay Pond, US#7, 14" long - Lantern Moon Needles, yes Lantern Moon. . .I think you understand. . .it would keep me from wandering away from my 'commitment'.
The top photo shows what will be the back of the cardigan and the photo below is what will be the sleeves. I knitted the sleeves simultaneously on the needles so that both would have the same length and boo boos if any the same!
