I used the pattern for the Aran Knit Jacket (31) from Better Homes and Gardens Knit It! 2002 issue. I modified it slightly since the instructions for 
the sleeves were wrong for the x-tra small siz
e. They turned out to be about 3 feet long when I knitted them according to the instructions! I also used a K4, P1 rib for the stitch for the sleeves instead of the body pattern since it ended up looking cleaner and less bulky. Next time I will most likely use a different button hole technique as well and try to knit the bottom portion as one piece on circular needles to reduce all the seaming. All in all a very nice comfy warm sweater.

So this made me think of a dream my sister told me about. After she met Mowgli, she really wanted to get a kitten but she's allergic. That night, she had a dream that her husband bought her a cat covered in yarn instead of hair so she wouldn't get allergic.
Awesome sweater! Way to get the knitting factory started!
I'm reaaally impressed (this is Lauren's sister)!
Beautiful sweater! You must have introduced knitting to Lauren:)

I don't know why I've never asked you before: Can you knit me a sweater?
