Knitted cardigan

Well... After a lot of hard work I finished my first Cardigan.

I used 5mm needles and Aran yarn.  

However, I mis-read the pattern and made it a size too small... Never mind, I can lose weight or wear it indoors when winter comes..


I used this pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/starlight-cardi


I had massive problems trying to sew the sleeves to the armholes, but the following instructions were my saving:

Nearly forgot to mention; I sewed up the sides and length of sleeves in mattress stitch.
