Rusted Root!

So Rusted Root is done (well except for weaving in the ends and blocking it). I love it! I actually misread the pattern several times and finished it in the incorrect ribbing, but I'd already taken the bottom ribbing out once because initially I made the sweater too long and I didn't have the heart to take it out again. I do want to make this pattern again. It is an easy, fast knit, though I was reminded often how new of a knitter I am. I think I knitted most of this sweater twice. It only takes 2.5 skeins of brown sheep cotton fleece. Next time I think I'm going to use their new line Serendipity Tweed. I'm moving on to Fifi (also seen here) made from Rowan calmer that my parents got me for my birthday.
