My first sweater! After about a week of constant work my first sweater was born, and it's wonderful. I used Cassie Rovitti's pattern "Tubey" but then in a fit of stupidity decided to modify the pattern, (mostly because my needles weren't in pattern,) and didn't do the ribbed body, but rather a simple stockinette stitch. It is a little too small in the body, as a result. And I didn't pick up stitches very well and I completely failed at a proper bind off the first time, requiring stitch ripping and work cutting and starting it over. In the end though, it's not too bad for a first timer. It was a wonderful pattern to work with, and if I had followed like I should have, it would have been an even better sweater...
