My very first adult sized sweater!

The Bloc Party by Kathleen Dames...

 This was my first attempt at a sweater for ME!

 The pattern has an integrated button band (which means the button holes are on both sides) and so the buttons I am using are interchangeable...kind of like cuff links.
 For now, they are matched to the stripe colours, but I also have a full set of plain white buttons that I can pop in when I'm looking for something a little more subdued.
I did some fun colourblocking...
...and most of the sweater is done in plain stockinette, which I love!
There will be another sweater in the future...in fact, I have already cast on!

What are you working on this week?
