can I get a "hoot hoot"?!

It's finished!  My first sweater.  I'm amazed at how easy this pattern was.  And how quickly it all came together.  It fits perfectly too!  And I finished it in time to wear it at least a couple of times.  The weather is starting to get warmer, so I'll probably have to put this away until the fall.  But I guess that I'll have something to look forward to after the hot summer...
I love that this sweater is the perfect length!  And the sleeves are super long, just like I like them.
The owl eyes are pretty sweet too, huh.

Nice, that these pictures were taken with that fabulous truck in the background, huh.  Thanks photographer... (I know I look completely crazy in this picture...oh well...)

details:
Pattern:  O W L S by Kate Davies
Yarn:  Cascade Eco-wool (about 1 1/2 skeins)

Great job! I can't believe you knitted a sweater that actually fit! I don't think I'll ever be able to do that, let alone sew something that isn't too big or little.
