My first FO-- or at least in 10 years! Simplicity 1198.

I know, I know, knits are not exactly "beginner" friendly but I've sewn like a pair of fleece pajama pants in high school, and a pillowcase... So I went for it! The neckline is definitely a bit rough but I'm okay with it. I had a hard time wrapping my head around "pinning the neck band to the outside" and sewing it so it had a pretty seam. I definitely had it figured out by the time I went to do the bands for the sleeves.
Originally I was going to do a 1/4th sleeve cap, but I tried it on before and my boyfriend really liked it without the sleeve caps.
Overall, I'm EXTREMELY happy with how it came out. Next on the chopping block-- chiffon and satin! Because I'm just too ambitious for my own damn good.

Awesome! Necklines are my enemies, too. It turned out okay though! :D
This looks great. (I love knits, but am useless with them.)
Looks comfortable, and it is flattering too. good job!
It looks really good! Sometimes it can be more fun to leap ahead of your experience level and try something tricky.
