its done!!!

i finally finished my rusted root....my first sweater for me! 2nd sweater ever...i hope i don't break up with myself...

took me a while to finish it, but my goal was to finish it before disney world. we leave a week from today, so i'm good...

again i reiterate what i have said about my hate for picking up stitches.....HATE IT!!! i can't seem to get it right....this time i seem to have a ridge inside which is making the neck line kind of fold out....but its not that noticable when wearing it....which is good....

so yay its finished....what? you would like to see more pictures? okay
the pictures in the post before before, taken from my phone camera i think indicate the color better....its a little too shiny and bright from my real camera....i'm not a bright kinda person most of the time...

altho this one doesn't look that bright...

and this one looks a little too dar

and here you can kind of see what i mean about the neck...the sleeve kind of does it too, but not really...after binding off the bottom, i realized i bind off too tight...its a good thing i didn't switch to the smaller needles like the pattern called for to do the ribbing...i kept with size 7 through the whole sweater...except i learned my lesson and for the sleeves (which i prefer not to be too snug thank you very much) i used size 8 to bind off....for the neck as well...

this is me wearing it...


and here we have the full outfit...i had purchased the skirt before i even started the sweater, but i purposely bought it to wear with my rusted root....i think it looks cute...

this is me wearing it...

and now some more random pictures for you
