Starting to knit

After not picking up any knitting since first learning when I was still less than 10 years old, I've started up again.

On a whim I found a pattern and purchased goods (well... got the other half [TOH] to do the buying bit). After a couple months or so, I finished the bulk of it in the last 2 or 3 days and in the Christmas spirit promptly passed it on to my mum [MUM]. To be honest, it was a poor effort and didn't fit well, but she seemed to like it quite a bit and readily took all evidence of rubbishness off my hands. How happy does she look?


I mostly finished it to get started on something new and not so boring with my new Christmas yarns. Mother of TOH [MOTOH] provided me with some very nice yarns and I am now afforded the luxury of knitting a sweater I will never be able to wash, thus adding to my dry-clean only pile of clothes. This is the first look at my new sweater/jumper/jersey/pullover (whatever you call it).
