So, I finally made a February Lady Sweater.
It's based on an Elizabeth Zimmerman Pattern for a simple baby sweater on 2 needles. It's a top-down sweater, Worsted weight on size 8 needles and possibly one of the easiest sweater patterns EVER. And EVERYONE on Ravelry.com seems to have made one.
So I gave into peer pressure.
I wasn't too pleased with the fit/bulkiness of the project. I think if I make it again (and I might, because it is a simple, classic pattern) I will try making it 1 size down, use a thinner gauge yarn with a heavier drape to make it hang more, decrease my needle size and add some waist shaping so I don't end up looking like a potato.
Oh well, practice brings improvement.
