Pinwheel Sweater -- my first knit!
I finished my first real knit, a pinwheel sweater for my niece! I'm pretty happy with how it came out:
If I do it again (and I think I probably will, for my daughter), I'd change two things -- do the afterthought heel for the armholes (as they suggest on Ravelry) instead of the extremely confusing provisional cast-on, and make the loops on my crocheted edge (a change already from the suggested I-cord) a little bigger. But overall, very happy with the project!

Congrats on persevering through the crappy directions! It turned out great.
Wow! I can't believe that's your first knitted project! Clearly, you have an affinity for needlecrafts because that's a gorgeous little sweater. Your niece is so lucky!
Very cute! That's a great fist knitted project. Mine was a scarf. Not nearly as cool.
That beautiful -- and very ambitious for a first sweater. Your niece is a doll!
The photo is actually my daughter posing -- the niece is in California, so couldn't take a photo of her in the sweater. :-) And I'm sure I wouldn't have taken on something like this for a first knitted project if I hadn't already been crocheting for quite a while.
Oh, Wow! I'm really impressed! The sweater is gorgeous, but it sure looks intricate and complicated. Bravo to you!
