Sweater triumph!

[kitewithfish]

I have finished my first sweater! 

 I forgot to mention I also have a Ravelry!  So you can go and check that out if you are a person who gets knitty. I'm not terribly social on that front, and I suspect that Knitting Tumblr will probably survive unafflicted by the upcoming Sexy Ban, but if you want to friend me there, I am happy to friend back.

The pattern on this one is pointedly a good and simple pattern for sweater beginners, but since I am adamantly a sweater beginner, it's perfect for me. I even have actually a large number of leftover balls of yarn (eh, 3), due to a disagreement with the pattern design over where my sweater should end. I'm firmly on the side of Natural Waist, while the pattern was more in the Just Past the Hips camp. I'll make a shawl or something from the leftovers.

Pictures? Also congratulations :) I've just started to knit, so I don't think I should be on Ravelry just yet. (I've made a single stocking-stitch scarf.) But it's nice to find other knitters here who can be admired without making me feel entirely inadequate.

Pics are on my ravelry page!

Going along to create a Ravelry page so I could see it, I discovered that I already had a ravelry page! Excellent :) And the jumper is amazing. That looks really complicated to me.
