My first sweater!

I needed a new crochet challenge, so I decided to try a sweater. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. It is 100% wool - so warm.

Here is the original pattern. You'll notice it has a big bow/scarf at the neck. I didn't think that would be very practical or look good on someone with a short neck.

So I followed some instructions from someone else to modify the neck. I love it! The buttons are made out of recycled plastic.
