Wow! Boast away! I have often said i will never attempt to create any clothing with yarn, I am just too intimidated. The sweater is beautiful! Love the buttons. :)
I am re-learning. I learned to do basic knitting (knit was good, purl wasn't) when I was about 8? I remember making one potholder... and that was about it. I wasn't good at it and it was awkward for me. I've been crocheting for years.
Ah, that is gorgeous! I love the butterfly buttons on it too! I do basic knitting, but never got beyond knitting on 4 needles (in the round) in a stockinette stitch (hat making). I would LOVE to knit socks or sweaters...I just do scarves and hats right now...oh well! Your granddaughter is a lucky girl!
I love my circular needles. short, easy and I can't lose one. on the crowded Metro- its the only way to go. Actually, I don't work on long needles at all. Have a lovely pair I was given by a good friend - need to find something to make on them.
LM - you are the knitting as crack dealer extraordinaire. without your prodding, and wanting to do something with my hands other than using them to stuff my face - I would never have re-learned how to do this, nor would I have been brave enough to do something like this one.. So thank you, Mom.
I'm a liberal Army Wife, mother and Grandma, Democrat, and being a liberal made me a rarity amongst the National Guard wives of my aquaintance! Let's see how it goes now that we are in the Big A Army.

As you should be. It's very pretty!
OK, sandbagger, time to come clean. You're not "just learning" to knit, are you?
It looks great!
That's awesome! Well done.
