New Sweater

So I have officially made my first adult sweater. I posted last about all my horrors with this sweater and I am proud to say I've overcome all of that and finished it. My favorite was the reaction of one of the housekeeping ladies. She was so excited to have seen it finished and raved about how she used to wear them all the time when she was my age. Apparently they used to/are called po-boy sweaters. At least that's what knitting group first saturdays called it too. They liked it as well.
Yesterday was our monthly meeting. This time in Jonesville, MI. It was a cute little town and the yarn shop Knits-n-knacks was awesome. Best yarn store we've been to yet. There was so much to look at. Yarn tucked in every corner, noro, lambs pride, cascade, etc. Even this beautiful yarn I got. I'm pretty good at only buying for specific projects, but this yarn was soo pretty that I couldn't resist. I think that I'll make some mittens out of them for next winter.
I bought three skeins to make sure I had enough for some sort of project. it's a brand called Di.Ve Autumno from italy. It's 100% Merino wool and soo nice and pretty. I'll definately post once I've made something with them.
