Today I have started my first sweater. I have tested the tension already so this should work. I am going to keep checking my tension as I go to be on the safe side. Here is a picture of the yarn I am using.

NEXT DAY

I decided to work the back and front together in the round, because I do not want to do it twice. That part is working out, but I think I got my size wrong. I measured a sweater that fits me well but failed to stretch it sideways to the size it becomes when I wear it. That means this sweater might be too small. It will just kill me to take it out because I hate, I said HATE, doing things twice. So I am going to take it off the needles and thread some yarn through the stitches so I do not loose them, and try the sweater on. Hope it goes well.

LATER THE SAME DAY

All is well in sweater land.

Sorry the pic is blurry. First time taking a picture in a mirror.
