sweater no.1

so, i've knitted a sweater.. that's kind of funny as i just rediscovered knitting and never made anything more complicated than shawl or a beanie .. this rust colored mohair/acrylic yarn was a birthday gift from tea (thanks tea! for the yarn
and for taking these pics) and the moment i saw it i knew i want to knit a sweater from it .. and, as i do not like being told what to do i chose to freestyle it, instead of following a pattern .. sweater is made in fingering weight yarn (using 5mm needles instead of recommended 3mm) it's knitted from the bottom up, in round and looks like a gigantic rectangle with small sleeves added to it .. i'm not really into lace or cables don't mind knitting them, but they are not really my style so i went for really simple design - knit stitch with occasional rows of double wrap stitch and usual 2x2 ribbing for hems .. i'm pretty happy with how it turned out
and it was a really fun knitting
so i'm already planning new sweaters and blouses ..
leggings are just another fake riding pants
variation of my favorite pattern from burda
