I'll have to learn how cord... have you ever noteced that all the men's sweaters are all 'death by cording'? o.O what is up with that!

Perhaps its the women who make the patterns that think men want sweaters like that. Personally, I think this sweater is the kind of sweater a man would want. Not only is it simple and elegant, but very slimming. I like the rolled collar and the cuffed sleeves. If I were a guy... I'd make this one. xd

BTW.. great job on the sweater! I have a machine made sweater that has the loose cuffs. It's a bit of a pain because they drip in everything. Maybe one day I'll remove the sleeves and knit them up proper-like. xd

oh yes I like that one too...was thinking about making it for myself too.
and the slimming could be a good thing. mrgreen
to bad that it might as well be summer over here and I can only wear my sweater at night, God how I hate the hot... I woould be much happer if it was just the fall and winter... I know that sounds crazzy but I'm really not big on the sun, and I really like my winter clothes.
maybe that would chage if I was slimmer and could take off my shirt every not and then, but I'm just not big on sun... the only thing I like about it is I can wear my flip-flops.

oh and thanks for the complement, I just love that I can share what I'm doing and people wont think I'm a nut for thinking that its cool that I just made my first sweater.

Sorry I didn't make it back to this thread until now. My daughter's dance recital was this weekend and we spent the whole week getting ready. I didn't get much time to work on my project either, I kept getting drafted to help out.
I think that one of my next projects will be to get pictures of what I've made up in a photo album somewhere so I can show off a bit.

ho what kind of dance is it?
I know what you mean about not having any time...I've been working like mad the past 3 days and am hoping to get payed soon so I can go out and buy what I need to make...well any thing.  

[Lee Kushrenada]

that's really cool. I have gone swing dancing a couple of times and I would love to put dancing into my life some day.
I have a friend that dose hip hop, and she has startted her own group of people that she teaches and they have preformances every now and then, there really good.

well I'm going to get payed soon so I can go and buy more yarn and what not.
is there any thing that I should make? like one of those 'every knitter should make one of these' kind of things?
