My first FO EVER!

What'cha Knittin'?

…posted to this forum anyway! :rofl:

This is another ubiquitous Klaralund from Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton’s Noro book.

It took me about 3 weeks to finish and approx. 10 balls of silk garden. I absolutely LOVE this pattern. It was so fun to knit, and I think it fits me great. This is the first sweater I have made that I think actually fits!

I added some simple waist shaping and had to make the sleeves about 3 inches longer that recommended in the pattern (because I have freakishly long arms I guess?).
I would highly recommend this pattern to any beginning knitter! :slight_smile:

Seriously! That is just a fabulous piece of work…you made something that’s actually functional and looks and fits like a high-quality, high-price sweater…that’s the best part: knowing you made it yourself…congrats! It’s awesome…and inspirational…guess it’s time to pick up my KnitScene Kenobi cardigan again xxx

I love it! You look fabulous in it, too. I’ve just spent the last 10 minutes googling Klaralunds and now I REALLY want to make one…I should plan on making one for next winter…seems like it would be a quick knit and I might be able to afford 10 skeins of Silk Garden by then…

This is your first FO? Amazing! You are very ambitious and you pull the sweater off nicely. Looks great! :notworthy:

That is beautiful! One day I’ll get around to making a sweater, I’ve wanted to, but I’ve never found a pattern I’ve been happy enough with, but, that sweater is just awesome! Very flattering too (which I need it to be…after almost 3 years, still haven’t kept off the weight from my last little demon…hahaha)

3 weeks?? That’s how long it’s taken me to knit 34 rows of my baby blanket so far!!
Love the sweater though - gorgeous colours and it really suits you!
