Pattern #9726 is Janet Fulton's first knitting project ever and she says, "It represents me going WAY, WAY out of my box.

However, I started taking classes at Spinning Yarns, in Dover, NH, last year as a means of finding some common activity with my new stepdaughter. The staff suggested I begin with a sweater, an overwhelming prospect to me." You look wonderful in your sweater, Janet!
