[knitting] Child's Aran Sweater

Here's the finished bulky sweater for my niece:

I love it, it's super squishy. I think my seaming turned out well:

This received a 2nd place ribbon at the fair. There were no notes on the name card (there were no notes on any of my fiber entries- but there were on my baked items) so I'm not sure what the problem was. At first I thought it was the seaming but after a discussion about tension at last night's knit group, I think it's because you can tell (esp when looking at the wrong side) that my tension is off when I'm purling. Oops.

This sweater was knit in pieces. I can be a tight knitter but loose purler. And you can see that in the fabric. Oh well, something to think about (and remember) when making sweater pieces in the future. But I don't think my three-year-old niece is going to notice.
