Again with the crappy blackberry pictures... but, at least I'm taking pictures! This is my very first sweater, Francis Revisited. Total success. Totally easy. Totally cute. :)
You can get this pattern for free on Beth Silverstein's blog I knit, therefore I am
I was inspired to start with this one by Parikha at sixoneseven and I'm sure many others but I can't seem to remember which blogs they were connected to. Sorry ladies!
Up next, possibly rusted root. Inspired by... again Parikha at sixoneseven. I love her swiss dot take on this one. And Robin at Yarn Crawl and Amanda at Amanda's Adventures in Sewing. Robin's blog is what started my blog addiction and Amanda's was the second blog I added to my favorites list. These ladies are very inspirational with their sewing and knitting and still some of my favorite blogs to read.
This is knit out of crappy alpaca/acrylic blend yarn from Michael's on Knit Picks Zephyr Acrylic needles. I won't do it again, knitting sweaters with crappy yarn that is, but for my first sweater I didn't want to go all out and spend a fortune on a disaster that may not have gotten finished anyway. I don't have an excellent track record with my projects although I have gotten much better about finishing things in the last year. I'm really excited to start Rusted Root. So far cotton is my favorite fiber to knit and knitting an entire sweater of it sounds wonderful.
