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.

Congratulations! A sweater is a big time commitment, you should be really proud. I am terrible at uploading my projects to Ravelry, I mostly use my account to look up patterns, but I've added you as a friend on there; my Ravelry name is ninjabanshee.

Woo! I mostly use it so that I don't lose track of my yarn. It helps a lot on that front, but it's slowly becoming more and more social for me and it's kind of nice.
