Katherine's Sweater

Yay! I did it! I made a whole sweater! Granted, it's a kids sweater, but darn it, I worked hard on that thing. I am not the fastest knitter in the world, in part because I don't have a lot of time to devote to it. I think I'll stick to smaller projects for the time being. Like socks and scarves. Anyhow, I'm very pleased with the final product. It's a Yarn Girl Knits for Older Kids creation, specifically the "Family That Knits Together" sweater. I made it with Caron Simply Soft Shadows, and Simply Soft. I used acrylic because my daughter has allergies and I was afraid an animal fiber would accentuate that. Anyhow, I'm sure glad it's done, and I love it!
