I blocked it a little too big, so I'm thinking of trying it again. I don't know if a sweater will shrink the second time around, but maybe I'll have to wash it in slightly warmer water. Over all, I'm pretty happy with it. The buttons were a lot of fun and when I'm not lazy, maybe I'll take a picture of them.
Yes! I finally finished my first pair of socks! They were really fast to knit when I finally got around to actually knitting them. I used this pattern for Moda Dea Sassy Stripes yarn but modified the heel and made my own instructions for a short-row heel based on these sock instructions. The short row heel was SO easy. For a long time I tried using a pattern that didn't wrap the short-row, but I would always mess up somwhere and never pick up that second sock but I'm sticking with a basic short row from here on out.
Project #3:
The Colorway Curse is defined as irregular or unflatterning patterns created from using colorway yarn, a particular pattern, gauge, and needle size. Notice the sleeve's odd pattern. I don't want to take credit for this, but the baby will probably wear it once before it outgrows it, so I'm not too stressed.
