A Sock Knitter's Diary

 It is bitterly cold today and I wish this sweater would fit me as it is rather soft and cuddly. This is the wiggly wool after being washed and knit into a sweater so, third time lucky. The pattern is from the wonderful Elizabeth Zimmerman and the rust yarn for the hems is some I already had but I don't know from where.

Considering the yarn I used for the hems is so bulky, they don't look too bad but if I use this method again I shall definitely use a finer yarn though, I'm not yet sure how to workout how the number stitches to use or how to cast them on.
I'm not sure who will wear this now, it was meant to be for me but I look terrible in it and it is slightly too tight. I think it might benefit from some embroidery.
