This is the very first garment I have ever knit...I gave it as a present to an expecting mother. It was such a tiny sweater, fit for the tiniest of persons, to keep them warm out of the womb, and comfort them. We all start little sometimes, and I would like to think there was a little "Naturally Nice" sweater there for me in the beginning! I got this pattern off of the Lion Brand Yarn website, and started right up...with only a little trepidation on my part. (I had never knit anything in real 3-D before...only scarves and blankets), So this was a new undertaking for me. Intimidating to say the least!! However, the plans are written out so nicely, and easy to put together, that I couldn't help rush through it and make another right away! I changed the called for "seed stitch" border to a knit 1, purl 1 ribbing, and I think I like the result much better. It gives the sweater a sort of collegiate feel, almost like it would look more suitable with suede elbow patches as well!!
This was my "starting little" project, and I hope to follow it up with several projects that make me twist my brain into difficult positions and really make me think! I hope for good things this year with my knitting, and with my new blogging adventures to boot!!
really?! this was your first thing other than a scarf or blanket? WOW!
