so my 1st real creation is done...

i made a sweater for my kiddo...originally it was supposed to be for aj, but i made it too short, i always forget how tall the little stinker is and since we don't want her belly showing it's going to riley...
it took a bit of time to complete because i had to redo one of the sleeves 3 times...the 1st two times i got like almost all of the way done (1st time all i had left was back stitching to bind off, 2nd time i was just starting the ribbing) and realized i'd put it on wrong and so i had to completely take it all the way out and redo it...but the 3rd time was the charm and it was right...
stitched up the seam of the sleeves and sides and viola a little royal blue sweater
next time i'm going to use a softer and smaller yarn though, but this one will be nice and warm still...i'm going to try to put in a cable next time too i think...now i'm off to the website to see what free patterns i can find that i'm interested in!!!
