Don’t get too excited. I’m not referring to lace shawl. No. Those are too challenging for me. I might try knitting them one day? :up: Anyway, here are some sneak peak.
There might not seem to be a lot of lace there but at least it’s a start for me and I’d consider it a milestone 
. This sweater is knitted with the Rowan All Seasons Cotton yarn that I’ve bought last year. I’ve already finished knitting the front and back as I’ve modified the pattern a little bit so that I can knit both the front and back as one piece, in the round. No side seams!!!
I did got stuck in the pattern especially while shaping the sleeves cap but after ringing the Jo Sharp hotline, I got it figured out. Another two thumbs up for myself, don’t you 
agree? I also modified the sleeves so that I can knit it in the round too!! No seams again except for joining the sleeves to the body!!!
Anyway, after so many modifications, I just hope that this sweater will turn out alright. If not, I’ll be so devastated. Just in case you didn’t know, this is indeed my first sweater. Off to knit the remaining sleeve!!

looking great Michelle - you have a lot of progress, my sweater is plooding along at a snails pace, Im concentrating very hard as I dont want anymore mistakes. I’ll post a pic of it later tonight, but trust me you aint gonna see much
:upsidedown: 
Oh it looks absolutely fantastic!!! You are such a great knitter!!! I can’t wait to see a picture of the finished jumper!!!
oooohh! So impressive Michelle! I was getting anxious waiting for a post from you and TA DA you don’t disappoint!! Lovely lace panel down the front and on the sleeve - and the yarn you chose will feel so nice! Maybe see you Saturday for discussions of Secret Pal 10, Swallowtail shawl and all things KNITTING! =D
The sweater is looking great & the sleeve too! Knitting the sleeve in the round is a great idea & I am also doing it too for my Hourglass Sweater but I am not knitting as fast as you are - only half way thro’ the 1st sleeve - bring along for show this Sat.
It looks amazing Michelle, cant wait for you to model it! Skipping seams is always good.
that is gorgeous so far!!
I think thats the jumper that Donna at Random Knits made a while ago..
And you are doing well for your first jumper!! Cant wait to see it finished

Nice work in the jumper. Btw, love that bolero u did below. I’m doing something similar too 
Ooops, I left the comment on the wrong post; in my blog the comment button is at the end of the blog, not the start. Anyway, as I said there, you have done well, congratulations. I love that pattern, and if I wasn’t so “big” I’d look at knitting it for myself.
