Okay, so it's full of mistakes, and my roomie says it's too big for me, but details schmetails. I finally finished my first sweater! Can't take a very good picture of it with the Treo... Maybe I'll eventually bust out the real digicam.
The yarn is an boucle yarn by Ironstone Yarns called "Rustic Tweed" that I was intending to use for a hat until I decided I wanted to branch out into something more difficult. It's from the massive stash I got at the yarn store that had everything 50% off. In fact, I think I picked it up from the $2 table, so this sweater cost me about $5 in yarn. I know there are a lot of things I could have done better, but oh well. I'll wear it anyway.
Oh, and if you look to the right in the picture, that's my shrine to schmoopie.
Your image URLs are dead... and I'm really curious to see the sweater now. ;)
