My first fisherman's sweater

Finally! Finally! Finally!

I finished my first fisherman's sweater. 

In fact, it is my first adult size sweater. 

I started this project when I was a definite beginner.  I even didn't know it would be crazy for a beginner knitter to knit a fisherman's sweater. 

Well, it took more than a year.  I have also knitted some other projects.  I was on and off on this project. 

I frogged it in countless times for mistakes.  I even used wrong size needle once, when I took the needles off for the other projects and put them back on.  As I knit, my hands got looser so the cable patterns on the front and the back are slightly different width-wise.
Overcoming all these begginer mistakes, somehow all parts were put together. 

It is a sweater far from "perfect" sweater, but I love my first fisherman's sweater so much!
