#5

Jan, it’s PERFECT! I love the color, fit, style!

Thanks! Re: camera face… My camera is even harder I had to hold up the strap! It’s not a little “monkey camera” although it’s not huge. :roflhard:

#7

#8

I love that sweater. It’s gorgeous. Lovely color, and it looks so soft and comfortable. You did an excellent job, because it looks like a perfect fit. I haven’t finished my first sweater yet, because I’m nervous about the seaming. But, you’ve inspired me to press on.

Jan ~ it’s terrific. Way to go. I just finished my first sweater tonight…but am nervous about the seaming as well. The sweater you knit is on my list of things to do.

#14

Jan, way to go! Great sweater and it fits you perfectly! What is the pattern and yarn that you used??

#15

It looks great and it fits you perfectly!!! Wonderful job! :cheering:

#16

Thanks everyone! :heart:

Answers to all the questions and more info:

Pattern is from Knitting Pure and Simple #9724. I bought mine locally, but they have them elsewhere online as well.

The yarn is Bernat’s Denim Style in stonewash. I bought it at Joanns on sale. The whole thing cost me about $30, but I do have a couple skeins left over.

The picture is bad, but it’s a top down raglan done on circs with no seams. I made the size small and it’s very soft and comfy!

#17

Wow. I hope I do as well on my first sweater! :cheering:

#18

Lovely lovely lovely! It fits you perfectly!

#19

As for those two skeins, can we expect to see a matching hat soon? Or some thick, warm socks?
