Sweater Success

After a couple afternoons of marathon knitting and two days of seaming, I have finally finished my first ever sweater! :)

It's far from perfect but I don't care. I'm happy with it! It was not only also my first time doing intarsia but knit from my very own intarsia chart too. There are some wonky bits where there were small holes I had to patch up while weaving in my ends but I just keep telling myself nobody will notice when there's a cute baby inside it. Right?

The seaming was a major pain in the you-know-what but I supposeit was good practice. If I were to make this sweater again I would definitely do the turtleneck bit in the round. I really hate the way the big bulky seam looks there! I would go back and re-work it now but I don't have dpns or circs in the right size. Ah well! Look at the beautiful arm and shoulder seams here.. not bad for a first timer, eh? (Ok, I'll stop stoking my own ego now...)

And of course the finished product. I have no idea what I'll be knitting next. Maybe some baby booties? I have some light blue Simply Soft from Caron that I could work into another sweater perhaps. Hmm...
