It'll have to do

Ok. So I've got a picture of my latest sweater. Unfortunately, my latest sweater is not very photogenic. It's a lace cardigan in a dark yarn, and the camera flash lighting is far from flattering, if that's even possible for a garment.

The pattern I started with was Lucky from Debbie Stoller's Stitch N Bitch Nation. I made so many changes, however, that I'm calling the sweater "Fortunate." The sleeves are shorter (I ran out of yarn). I used snap closures instead of a side tie (didn't quite get the side tie conceptually, plus, again, I ran out of yarn). And I did more waist shaping than was called for because I always do.

I might put up a picture of how the sweater looks on me, but first I'll have to figure out what to wear under it. Because it needs something under it, for sure. It's lace. :)

Tentative "ta-dah!"

In the meantime

Well, spring semester is in full effect and I've not yet had a chance to take a picture of my latest completed sweater. However, in an effort to make le nouveau blog look not quite so pathetically bare, here's a shot of my Very First Knitting Project Ever. I forget quite where I found the pattern (it was a few years ago, after all), but it was easy-peasy: no shaping, just a whole heck of a lot of stockinette. It's a tad big on me, but I still wear it when I feel like being the color of a fire engine!
