Knitting my first sweater!
The news in my world? I have decided to graduate from knitting socks to sweaters! So I have picked out the pattern from the book Stitch 'N Bitch. The pattern is called "Big Sack." The idea is that it is a big bulky sweater, so I figure I will have a little breathing room in the size and I won't end up knitting it too tightly and ending up with a chunky knit belly shirt. Not flattering. I got some 100% wool yarn from a local yarn shop called A Knitted Peace. So the goal is to turn THIS into... THIS.
I like the washing instructions on the yarn. Evidently it can only be washed in 30 degree C water with one hand, not while climbing a mountain, and there is no third rule. Alright, that makes sense. Wish me luck!

They look just alike!
