Feeling so proud of myself for tackling this, though! I learned to knit when I was nine, but I've never really challenged myself to do a big project (unless you count that Queen of Hearts bikini from Stitch n' Bitch sophomore year of college... 😨)
One of my new years resolutions this year was to tackle a sweater and/or a sock. After two false starts (maybe you might even say 1.5) I am really happy to have made it here!
The gauge is not quite right even though I knit multiple swatches. Couple of factors there - the big one being that my tension while knitting the swatches was different than my tension when I was actually working - but the truth is even with the swatches I was having trouble getting gauge. I also had stitch and row gauge flipped in my mind. I knew that stitch gauge was more important but for some reason I thought stitch gauge was the vertical measurement and not the horizontal one. Oy.
ANYWAY it's big but not AS big as I feared it would be. And I'm hoping it will fit even better after I block it.
