EZ sweater...

So the first time I read about the EZ february baby sweater, I thought that the "EZ" was implying that it a simple little pattern perfect for beginners, rather than created by the well-known inspiring Elizabeth Zimmerman... anyways, my interest was perked none the less, and I embarked upon trying to create one of these tiny masterpieces on my own. I ordered the Knitter's Almanac, eagerly awaiting its delivery, bought beautiful jade colored yarn, and readied myself to begin... needless to say, i have not had an "EZ" time with this one. The pattern is fairly vague and leaves many things up for interpretation or guesstimation by the reader. I do not like this in a pattern, I like little tidy instructions that lead to little tiny knitted creations. I have ripped out the top of this sweater at least three times already! But I am determined not to let it get the best of me and plan to cast on again this week. Argh! Wish me luck, I'll report back soon! amb
