sweater

I recently finished my first sweater. I think it turned out alright, although not precisely how i thought it would. The pattern (from SnB) seemed to result in a light airy sweater, and this is not that. I'm a bit confused about where things went wrong, though, as i did the best i could matching the guage etc. (I couldn't find the recommended yarn, so i matched it as best as possible... i tried finding lighter yarns while i was looking, but none of them would have come near the guage required.)

At any rate, its warm, and cozy, and i think not even entirely unattractive, and i'm very proud of finishing it.
