finished my first sweater

[Ashling]

I've been working on this for a couple of months, and I'm finally done!  I think it came out alright, I made a few mistakes, but they're not too noticeable.  I think if I do this again I'm going to make the next size up, because the repeat is in multiples of 12 the sleeves on the medium are the same as the sleeves on the XS, and are a little tight on me.  I'll try to post a shot of me modeling it once I get buttons.

I love the color! What pattern is that?

Beautiful. How strange that the medium sleeves are the same size as the xs... Well, it looks gorgeous, anyway.

Thank you!  I bought some buttons, but I still need to put them on.  I am always so crazy busy in December when I get home all I want to do is sleep!
