What was your inspiration?
A collection of small lengths of different yarns is an excellent choice for easy one-of-a-kind resultsa great way to use those workshop or goodie bag samples.
What are you most proud of?
If using different yarns, you can plan ahead on color or texture placement based on the order the parts of the sweater are knit (i.e. neckband and yoke, each sleeve, then body.). Some choices are light to dark, dark to light, mixture of smooth and textured, or whatever. Or just use the yarns in a serendipitous fashion, letting the colors and textures fall where they may!
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Gauge and needle size are not terribly important. The pattern has suggestions, but these are guidelines only. So use whatever you have that is close and just have fun.
