Wind Underneath My Wings

I had quite the busy new years weekend. I went indoor sky diving on Friday morning. I also visited my mom on Sunday. It's always good seeing my mom. I also decided that I wanted to start the new year off with a challenge. I'm going to make my first cardigan! I am using the Basic Black pattern by Gina C. I bought all the yarn last night on webs.com and got a great deal. I am also looking at some buttons online :)

  2. good luck with the cardigan! Have you done sweaters before? It's the sewing together in the end that's a real bugger. Are you sure you don't want to try something in a top-down raglan? It's easier to sew I think, and you get to try it on as you go. Think about it! :)

  3. Sarah-

    I have not done sweaters before. I will consider the top-down and think it over some. Trying it on as you go is a definite plus! I would absolutely hate to make something and not have it fit. Thanks for the advice and happy new year :)

  4. I agree with the student knitter- top down raglan is the way to go, especially for your first sweater. It really sucks to put all that work into something, just to realize that you'll never wear it.
