I recently completed my first adult sized sweater! I've been knitting for some years now, but each new project is a challenge and I learned a lot from this one. It started because I wanted to use up a bunch of skeins of yarn that I've had for awhile. I narrowed it down to a group of analogous colors: blue, purple and turquoise green. I wanted to make a sweater that I would probably never find in a store, so I came up with a combination of two of my favorite things: skeletons and dinosaurs. I gridded out the dinosaur design and lined it up with the knitting pattern. Since I was trying to use yarn I already had, I ended up mostly using Paton's classic wool. Once I got through the first panel (the back), I was already running low on some of the colors. Since all my yarns were from different and old dye lots I knew I would be hard pressed to find matching ones. Luckily since I already had the stripe pattern incorporated in it was a little less obvious when I had to substitute colors on the remaining panels. Not getting enough yarn wasn't my only mistake. I ended up making 3 sleeves, since the first 2 weren't identical due to not lining up the stripe pattern correctly. I used the wrong size knitting needles, so the sweater is a little snugger than I had anticipated. Even with all those mistakes, I'm happy with the outcome. Now that I made it through my first sweater, I'm a little more confident and I might take on another. Here is the pattern that I used: Women's Day 101 Sweaters You Can Knit No. 3 Copyright 1970 Saddle Sleeve Cardigan Sizes: Misses' 10 [12-14-16-18-20].
