Here's my first sweater, which took a little less than 2 years to complete. Why so long? Well, it was knit on size 4 needles, to start, and it quickly became one of those "I don't know if I really like this anymore" things. The pattern is a modified version of Peppermint Twist from SnB. It's made of wool-ease, which softened up in the dryer, but is still a little scratchy on my neck. Even if I don't wear it much, I think it served its purpose by keeping me occupied for years :)
