I love my new Antrorse Sweater . It feels soft and warm. It is also washable!!!! I think next time I wear it, I will wear my skinny jeans and boots. Each time I knit, I can see how much better I am getting because the fabric is more consistent. I have also learned how to fix mistakes. Mistakes are going to happen but if you know how to fix them, then you are better off. I still have a lot to learn but this sweater is so much better than the first time I knit this pattern. Knitting takes a lot longer for me to complete a project but I love that I can take my craftiness anywhere. I adore sewing but being able to do both knitting and sewing is wonderful. These buttons are all that I could find in my stash. I might have to look for different buttons. Yarn: Vanna's Choice, Lion's Brand, color charcoal grey. Needles: US 10.5 to get the right gauge. Buttons: Vintage metal buttons with eagles.
