My big finish for March is a sweater that has been a long time in the...planning? I originally fell in love with this pattern and bought the yarn about ten years ago, but chickened out of actually casting it on back then. Now, after having a lot more knitting experience, I finally bit the bullet about a year ago and made a start on it. And I have to say, it's a good thing I waited. This pattern - NOT beginner friendly! Some knitting patterns just assume you know how to knit a sweater and that it's enough to give you some general pointers, and ten years ago, this would have been way out of my league. Now I was able to finish it with minimal confusion, and I'm quite happy with how it turned out!
The pattern was from a booklet called the "Wolke Hegenbarth Collection" that came free with the yarn many years ago. I'm not sure whether it's still available - the yarn isn't - but as I said, as happy as I am with the result, I can't really recommend it!
This resulting sweater is very comfy and cozy, but also pretty warm - I was hoping to not have any reason to wear it before next winter, but the last couple days have been so cold, I just might!

It looks very warm and cozy! The yarn is gorgeous. Well done!
This is gorgeous!! Well done and good idea to wait. I've only ever made one full sweater and the pattern was beginner friendly thankfully.
