I am so happy to report I have finished my very first sweater! I bound off the collar last night while watching Atlanta and New Orleans play. I will put it on later and get one of the crew to take a picture so I can post it.
WooHoo!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone for the encouragement! |

I love it!! I love the color, too. I am going to have to look up that yarn. I just got a new Knit Picks catalogl, maybe they will have something I can use in there. Great Job!

Kathy I used Knitpicks Wool of the Andes in Amethyst Heather. It took just over 7 skeins. I did some modifications to the collar, cause it looked too big. So I didn't knit it as many rows as it said. Now I am looking for another top down pattern cause I have another color in a deep blue I bought at the same time.
Tina, did you just get a new catalog? What is on the cover? |

| Thanks! Miss Kitty, I got the new Knitpicks yesterday. I was going through my needles and realized I don't have any Options tips in size 7. I must put that on my Christmas wish list! I have some 24 inch Addi's but I like the Options so much better! |

I have the bowling bag catalog, too. I am looking through it right now, getting my order ready to show hubby when he gets home...  I need to get a job to support my knitting.... I guess the Wool of the Andes is not bad. Only $16 plus shipping for 8 skeins...

Hubby said I could order yarn! I got Wool of the Andes in 'Fairy Tale'. It looked more purple-ish online than in the catalog. I hope it isn't too pink in real life.
