Elizabeth's Thermal complete!

My very fist sweater is complete! All in all, I liked the pattern, and i think it was a great sweater to start with, but now it's starting to get warm and I want to knit something I can wear. Also, it ended up being a little on the small side which was a good learning experience.













Thermal (pattern) (ravelry) by Laura Chau
Source: knitty.com
Recipient: Myself
Occasion: My first sweater!
Completed: April 3, 2008

Yarn: 6.75 skeins of Sandes Garn Sisu in red
Needles: US 2.5 and 3
Other info: I tried to make things a little longer than the pattern, because I was doing it in a smaller size. I wanted a more fitted sweater. Unfortunately I didn't make it quite long enough. Ah well, that's what I get for not swatching ^_^

Silvia, another Thermal Knitter!!

Hi, my name is Silvia and I jumped on the Thermal bandwagon!! I fell in Love with it when I saw it on Ravelry, so I had to make it.This is a first for me....never having done a sweater knitted in the round!! I did mess up the twisted rib but could not be bothered to frog it after 3 days of trying to cast on!! 13 stitches messed up, it did not bother me much at first......now it does. The further I go the more annoyed I am becoming. Of course it would be right at the front of the sweater!!! Can someone tell me if I move the beginning of round marker to past those 13 stitches will that be okay? Could it be that easy to move the mistake to somewhere less noticeable? Or do I have to live with it? Because I am certainly not frogging it!!!
I would very much appreciate some help on that, thanks in advance :)
