My Self Knitted Jumper - finally finished :)

I´m so proud of myself I´m almost gonna cry :´-D  Feels like I´m ready to take over the world now! I actually managed to make something - knit my own sweater! OK it´s not that hard, but I finished it! And it´s AWESOME!

It´s a lovely khaki-green color and I just love it. Don´t know what more to say. 

I´m super proud and want to wear it all the time..:P As soon as I find another color I like I wanna do another one!!!

HERE´S A BUNCH OF NON-PROFESSIONAL OUTFIT PHOTOS FOR YA:D

So glad to be wearing my Laura Bellariva boots again, I love Fall <3

HOW TO:

I´ve used 100% wool yarn Superwash:

It says 3,5 needle, but I´ve been knitting on a 7 needle since I wanted this type of jumper.

OK to be honest I got no idea what words to use when talking about knitting ha ha!!! :)

Will do some research on this and get back to you on the pattern, but seriously it´s so easy!

All the pieces are knitted from the bottom up.

Front Piece:

Cast on 78 stitches

 Start off with knit one, purl one for approx 5 cm.

Continue to knit.

When reached a few cm. before desired length - Find the centre and bind off 16 stitches total (on the middle).

Then knit a round or two before bind off again 1 stitches on each side.

(You can make the neck as you wish, you decide how you want it).

Bind off.

Back Piece:

Cast on 78 stitchess

 Start off with knit one, purl one for approx 5 cm.

Continue to knit until desired length.

(I made my backpiece a little longer that the front piece).

Bind off.

Sleeves:

Cast on 44 stitches.

 Start off with knit one, purl one for approx 5 cm.

Knit until you count 15 rounds.

Then increase with 1 stitch on each side of the needle every fourth round.

(You´ll start increasing on the fifth).

Do this until you count 56 stitches in total.

(You´ll be increasing by 12 stitches)

Then knit until desired length.

I didn´t knit many rounds, maybe one or two..

You´ll just have to measure with the backpiece!

Bind off.

Then time for making up!

Put the pieces against each other - right side agains rights side.

Use the yarn that you used knitting with, and a big needle.

Start with the shoulders.

Then sew the arms on, and continue down the sides.

I left a split approx 10 cm on both sides.

OK don´t know if this makes any sense.. but it´s the best i can do right now :)

If you have done anything like this or want to try making your own sweater, please let me know - I would love to see the result! :)

Today I have finally had the energy to be starting painting my room - first layer is done!

Guess I´ll be finished by the end of the week. I also managed to break my bed into two pieces (not because I´m a whale, but I was moving it and because of my extreme strength and blah blah yea u get my drift;)) and that means I will be going to IKEA sooner than first planned - well that´s not really a bummer tho, I want new furnitures!

I got such a lovely idea for my vanity table!

Do you have any interior tips for vanity tables/makeup organizing? Please share with me!

I´m gonna go cuddle in my lovely jumper now and then off to bed! Work tomorrow & I´m already longing for my daily dose of hot black heaven ;-)
