Knit Number 2

After my first successful attempt at knitting the 3 hour sweater, I was keen to have another go. This time I used the proper size needles that the pattern states....last time I was a rebel and used a smaller set, so the result is a much looser knit...which was much quicker. The shape looks much more 30s and I even customized it slightly. Instead of the button above the hole, I extended the knit into two long ties that I have formed into a bow!

I slightly buggered up the sleeves....some how, while I was probably watching tv and not concentrating, and managed to make them too wide. You can see from this picture there is a bit of a bulge where I had to sew the extra wool into the seam, but you can't notice it really when my arms aren't up. I also chose not to do the ribbing on the sleeves just to have a bit of contrast to the ribbing on the front and back.

I definitely have the knitting bug!
