This was my first attempt at a sweater. Before I started, I thought the cabling would be the trickiest part, but it was a snap. Don't look too closely at my seems, though!

Cathy Larson, Sheryl's mother's sister, crocheted this sweet sweater. She also made a similar patterned pink afgan which is Becky's favorite blanket.

This is Sheryl's favorite sweater of the bunch. Look at the workmanship! I dream of making a sweater as lovely as the one Grand Aunt Jane made.

I learned how to do lacy knitting with this sweater. It hasn't gotten much use, except as wall decoration.

This was my big project for late summer/early autumn 2004. I figured that I was doing OK reading patterns and ready for a bit of a challenge, and this was it. It took a bit longer, and I used better yarn, and both paid off in the end..

This sweater was quick and easy to make. It was one of my very first attempts at knitting. I hadn't figured out how to make decent seams yet.

This lime green and royal blue sweater was a follow up to the bright pink sweater I made in 2002. It was quick and easy, but I learned that it's not worth it to use cheap yarn; it snags easily.
