Knitting Project - Fair Isle Cardigan

My New Knitting Project - Fair Isle Cardigan 

I realised the other day that I have been putting off the Fair Isle Cardigan's Collar :s so i made a big push to try to get it finished for my daughters birthday.

So for the past 2 days I have been knitting 299st for 30 rows in K1, P1, and after sewing it up today I have finally finished it.



Completed jumper - The Front

Completed jumper - The Back
 

It has taken me 6 months to complete it.  It was tough going at times and extremely frustrating especially on the shaping parts, I had to pull some of it back many times before I got it correct, and I can still see mistakes. The pattern itself I found a little confusing at times and I had to improvise :s im not a talented knitter and I am disappointed with the results :( BUT my daughter loves it, that's the main thing!

I finished it on the 10/06/2013 just 2 days after my daughters birthday :D

I think she is happy with it, even though its a little big :s

Going to knit something a little bit more mind numbing now, so i don't need to concentrate as much.
