After I had been knitting some more challenging items this year, I decided I wanted to try a sweater. I had never made one before, and usually liked to make quicker items, so this seemed like a good challenge. I found the pattern for "Abalone" on Ravelry and really liked it- its short sleeves seemed ideal for Georgia weather and I liked the shape of it. I'm really quite pleased with the way it turned out!!

| I'm an awkward model, but the sweater is cute! |

Just right for Georgia winters!

Some changes I would make next time- the shaping of the lower back still irritates me... I am not sure how to make it more gradual but I would definitely do that next time.
 |
| Lower pointy shaping :( |
Also, the pattern called for "8 garter ridges" which I took to mean 8 garter stitch rows but really meant 8 purl ridges and 16 total rows. I think it still looks okay.

| Should have double the edging. |
Now I can't wait for the weather to cool off so I can wear it!!
