It took four attempts, but I finally have a sweater that I knit that fits!
I finished my Harvest Sweater at Knitting Camp and even Meg Swansen approves:
She liked the way it fits across the back:
Yep, I'm pretty proud!
This Tin Can Knits design is a great pattern. Not only is it free, but it is designed to be a first sweater so it comes with clear, detailed instructions. Even I could follow them! The yarn is Cascade 220 in a heathered pink. It took five skeins, meaning that the sweater only cost me about $45.
(The first three sweaters are in landfills somewhere.)
Have a great weekend. I'm headed to Chicago for an Urban Sketching workshop.
