Some of you may remember the baby sweater I made from Merino wool I bought in Argentina. You really encouraged me, so I've persevered with learning to knit despite lots of fits and starts. I just finished this sweater for my daughter in a chartreuse merino/alpaca blend. I actually started it for myself but skipped the "matching guage" step, LOL. Fortunately, I realized early on that it would fit her perfectly. I'm going to start a pullover sweater for my son next and will eventually do a sweater for myself too. I made one last year (the first sweater I completed), but I'm not sure I'll ever wear it. It's just a bit bulky.
