FO - Super Birthday Sweater

This is the sweater I finished recently. I got the pattern here: http://www.bluealvarez.com/bluealva/patterns/birthday.html.

I used KnitPicks Sierra in Cranberry and Mist.

I haven’t blocked it yet, but I think it looks pretty good. Yes folks, I may actually wear this one out of the house! :wink:

Great color combo…the sweater is simply gorgeous! It looks really good on you, too. Wear it with pride, chica!

I love it

I think it looks great!!! Wear it proudly!!

That is a beautiful sweater! I like the colors you’ve chosen!

BTW…it looks way better than the one they show on that website!

I like it much better than the picture in the pattern! It looks great and fits perfectly! :cheering:

I agree- it fits you perfectly- you did a great job!!

I love that sweater!!! You picked great colors. Everybody is right, it looks better than the one on the pattern. I think I’m going to knit that for myself.

I agree- it fits you perfectly- you did a great job!!

I already posted how much I love your sweater that I am ordering knitpicks tonight. Have you done a lot of sweaters? I haven’t yet and wondering if it was hard to do. What size did you knit? You look about my size.

Cindy

Sorry for all the questions. :?? I was looking at the pattern and it didn’t say what size needle to use. What size needles did you use, Amber?

Cindy :smiley:

GREAT job!!!

Sure it does…it says size 11 needles. :wink: Look down where it says gauge.

Thanks so much everyone! :blush:

Cindy,
I haven’t done a lot of sweaters. This was my third sweater attempt and my first success. What I like about this pattern is that it’s knit in the round, from the neck down, so there is no seaming (yay!). I’d say, the only challenging part was doing the sleeves on dpns – but that’s only because I’m still kind of a dpn novice.

I knit the size small. Oh, and as Jan mentioned, the needle size is 11. Let me know if you decide to knit one. I’d be happy to answer any more questions, and I’d love to see it when it’s finished! :smiley:

I saw that it was size 11 needle right after I posted the question. Thanks for the info Amber. I am ordering yarn tonight. If I have any questions, I definately will ask you. Thanks for the offer.

Cindy

OH I totally agree!!!

Looks fantastic! :thumbsup:

[color=gray]I had to go back to open the link to see what the picture looked like.[/color]

[color=blue]ABSOLUTELY, yours is by far superior!!![/color] :thumbsup:

Your sweater is gorgeous, and it looks good on you, too!! :inlove: :inlove:

And I agree with the others–yours definitely looks better than the one in the pattern!! :thumbsup:
