Here it is...

I wasn't going to show this to anyone, but it seems like everyone wants to see it. I promised a teenie photo and here it is.

It's scruffy looking and way too small. Actually, truth be told, when I looked at it this morning it didn't look quite as scruffy as it did yesterday, but it's still too small.
OK, here's a bigger photo so you can see all the flaws. Please send any advice you have because I'm gearing up to knit another sweater (not this one though).

    Oh....if only i were small enough to wear it!!! I think a young lady in a back to work program would be honored to wear it! We crafters are WAY to critical of our efforts! That's one reason I like to give my stuff away, so I don't have to look at the imperfections in my crafting.

    I don't have any advice on the techniques... I am by no means an accomplished yarn girl.

    Thank you for sharing!

    So I think it looks pretty good. Where were the problems? I know you said you were having trouble with the sleeves. Anything else?

    OK, so call me a DUMB NON-KNITTER, but I can't see any flaws! I think it looks great. Just a pity that it's too small :(

    I think it is adorable. I have some trouble seaming, and all I can say is it gets better. I think you are being hard on yourself because the sweater is really cute and I think someone would love to wear it!

    I'm sorry after all that work it is too small, but it looks very pretty to me.

    looks good to me, but i'm a beginning knitter so i can't really see any flaws. from the photo it looks fantastic. pity it's too small though as it would make a wonderful spring cardigan. good luck with the next one!
    cheers

    It's a great sweater, from one knitter to another. Flaws? I'm even a picky person but I can't see them. Being too small well, that's a drawback! I've done that too and had to give a very nice sweater away due to size.
    Enjoyed your blog. Just spent a while reading your archives. You are quite prolific in creating things!!!

    I think it looks nice! I hate knitting clothing. I am never satisfied with it. Even when I swatch it comes out the wrong size. It's also tough when you change out the yarn instead of what the pattern calls for. I will hope that practice makes perfect and my next sweater will be better. I still think it's just tough to make clothes. :)

    Love the color, too!
