It's Finished

Mission accomplished. This here is my first item that I have knitted that can be worn. Oh wait a minute, in February I knitted some clogs socks but they didn't fit me. They were too small for my gargantuan feet. This is the first sweater I have knitted. This sweater is a gift I intended to give to my friend for her baby shower 2 weeks ago. I didn't finish it in time so off to Target I went to get something she registered for. I will just have to bring this with me when I go to visit her after the baby is born. She is having a girl hence the pink ties on the sweater. I used Cascade Yarns Luna, it is a Peruvian Cotton. It was really great to work with and in general the project went very fast until it was time to sew the pieces together. I remind you I am a new knitter and have never done this before. I sewed on the sleeves then I had to remove the sleeves because I had placed them in the wrong spot so when I went to sew the side seams together they didn't line up (frustration). So, I ran to target and grabbed a gift and went to the shower without my sweater. It is all fine though now because the sweater is complete. There is nothing that I enjoy more than finishing a project. It also brings much confusion to my life because there are so many projects and so much yarn staring me in the face waiting for me to choose them for my next project. I am not sure what it will be next. I think I am going to make a mini sock for my key chain sock blocker. It should be a quick project, I think:).

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I mostly relaxed but Winston didn't. He hates loud noises and was very sad all day trying to hide under my chair or on my lap. He is exhausted today he will probably sleep most of the day. He isn't a fan of fireworks, but he is a party animal.
