Brrrr!

It's getting a bit chilly here. 

Just as well I've finished a sweater then right?!!



It's Mabelle by Diane Mulholland and it's awesome!  Before I started it, I had no experience of knitting sweaters in the round with a yoke.  I have tried knitting baby cardigans before and hated the sewing up because I thought they looked untidy.  So I just followed the pattern. She did say that if you wanted to, you could add in extra yoke decreases if you wanted the neckline higher but I just left it.  Next time I'm definitely going to do the extra decreases because the neckline is a little low (visible bra straps!!).  I can wear it with a t-shirt, but meh.  The visible bra straps don't bother me so much because I'll not be wearing it in a work setting.

Knitting sweaters in the round is an ace idea.  No sewing up!  I am happy with it anyway :)
