Tadaaa - I actually managed to finished a sweater for myself :-) Doesn't happen that often, but since I set up a New Years resolution for my self - that I have to make one larger each month for the entire 2010 - no more hats to the pile.... for now!
The pattern from Ravelry was fantastic. It's knitted top down without any seams at all! purrfect pattern for me - I hate sewing the seams, mainly because I'm really bad at it and they always turn out bulky!
The yarn - Heavens Hand Wool Classic from Cornelia Hamilton - is absolutely faboulus - knits up great and the best part...... It's not all black, it has shades of grey and black which really gives the sweater that extra wawooom! Only downside - the yarn contains so much exess colour that my hands and fingers were black every time I put down the project, it washes right off though.
I still need to block it and then there will probably be a phot of me strutting my stuff :-)
Next project ready for the needles..... I'm going to be an aunt for the second time this April - it's a girl! Oh joy, oh joy - so many great projects in queue.
