Sweater Mania!

I just finished my first sweater! I've mentioned earlier (and shown the yarn) for the Deep Ribbed V-neck from Stefanie Japel's Fitted Knits. Here it is in all its glory!


A few items of note:
Neckline was obviously changed. I really liked the open keyhole look, so I kept that.
The sleeves were not seamed, but knit in the round.

This was a lot of fun to knit. The Cascade 220 gets softer and softer as you knit with it, I really love that yarn. The pattern itself was basic, but not boring. I think it is a great first sweater project. And of course I couldn't have done it without the help of all my knitting friends, so I just wanted to thank everyone for all their help! I love you guys :)
