Two Arms Short of a Sweater Bill Cosby Would Go Crazy Over

ok so let's take this from the top!

right now, im in the process of making my first sweater ever, after having been seriously infected with the knitting bug (my boyfriend swears knitting is why i've got a cold). its a pattern from rowan that my sister sent to me. its kind of crazy, so i thought that would be fun. the yarn is either from knit picks, or from a stash my sister mailed to me (along with the pattern). for the cuffs, i used us size 7 needles, and the rest is all on size nine.


so this is pretty much me being extremely excited to start a sweater after spending way too long on a scarf for my friend's bday. way too long = me redoing it when it was almost done because im anal like that.

I didn't get that Bill Cosby part until I saw the back of the sweater. HA! I can't believe you're doing intarsia for your first sweater. Looks great!
