You've made it sound like a good starting point... because lately I've been wanting to make every sweater I've seen even though I've never made one! haha :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26803835.post-26609173956011461382007-11-29T11:14:00.000-05:002007-11-29T11:14:00.000-05:00Thanks so much Vanessa!There's good and less good ...Thanks so much Vanessa!<BR/>There's good and less good points about making this project your first sweater. One good thing is it's a bit more forgiving in the fit department, since it mostly hangs open. It's also pretty straightforward on the long part, with the ribbing, that hangs down. The upper part is an interesting construction - not difficult! but different than a run-of-the-mill sweater. Another good point is it'll give you experience seaming in sleeves, (which no one likes!!!), picking up stitches, placing buttons and making buttonholes.<BR/>Good luck with it! I hope you enjoy making it :)Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02099840174793186789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26803835.post-64756167000540433062007-11-29T02:20:00.000-05:002007-11-29T02:20:00.000-05:00Oh my goodness - I was kinda iffy on this project,...Oh my goodness - I was kinda iffy on this project, but yours looks SO good..
