You guys, do you know how absolutely excited I am?!! See that pretty blue cardigan I am wearing? I made it myself!! It’s my first knitted garment and I am completely adoring how it came out! I think that it looks exactly like the picture for the pattern ~ don’t you? ᵔᴗᵔ
Well, almost exactly the same, except that I haven't yet sewn on the hook and eye at the neck, and I also made mine a wee bit shorter because I couldn’t get enough of the same dye in the yarn I bought.
Still, all that aside, I can’t wait to start on my next knitting project. This one was finished in about a month, so I think I might be able to squeeze in another heavy knit in before the end of winter and then I’ll have to start on some more lighter weight {i.e. ~ finer yarn which equals a lot more time on the needles!} projects. I might even have enough garments to participate in Me-Made May if it’s on next year. > – < Fun times!

Awww, thanks Amber. You know I never really thought about it before, but your comment has made me realize that being able to make things with my own hands is a talent I am blessed to have. Thank you for helping me figure that out! ^ w ^
