six year sweater

This is what I call my six year sweater. It was probably my 5th knitting project, before I knew that knitting patterns regularly contain errors. Why don't they hire editors??? Anyway, I knit about 2/3 of the project before I realized that the pieces weren't going to go together properly. So, I put it in a bag and stashed it away for a few years. Once I got back into knitting and realized that one is supposed to download pattern corrections from the internet, I took the sweater to my next open knitting class, got some expert help and fixed it all up! Six years later, a lovely little baby sweater for a friend's new baby boy. Here's to never giving up!
