My First Hand-Knit Sweater

2/3/2020 1:00pm While trying to figure out what to write, I looked over to my left and saw the sweater I've been working on for the past 3 days just sitting there beside me on my laptop. So instead of worrying myself on what to write about. I thought I would write in a diary-like format about the process of me making my first hand knit sweater. 2/4/2020 4:54pm The sweater I'm making is by Drops Design called " White Rose ". It's a top-down raglan. It has pretty eyelet and cable detail on the sleeves and the yarn I used was Loops and Thread Wellness Baby in the color-way Coral (the yarn line Wellness Baby is currently discontinued) it's a sport weight yarn and I had 2 skeins that I bought for Christmas on sale at Michaels for $3.97 apiece when the original price was $10. I didn't have size 3mm or 3.25mm circular knitting needles so I used a size 3.50mm the gauge was supposed to be 24sts and 32rows = 4 ” /10cm but I got 28sts/32rows = 4 ” /10cm.
