My first sweater

I ventured out and made this sweater.  My very first!!
It was scary, but I made it.

I used the Russian stitch on it.  Teal and purple yarn.  The body was the Russian stitch, the sleeves were crochet.  The hood was knitted as well.  I had to unravel it 3 times and start over.

I just turned it last weekend for the So Cal fair along with other things I made.  Hope to earn a ribbon; at least it will be out there for people to see.  That's exciting as it is.
