July Project: My First Sweater

This mystery yarn used to be a rather long skirt and I turned it into a great sweater for my youngest dd.  This is my first attempt at a sweater and I didn't want to use good yarn in case I totally mangled it.  In progress:

I knitted top-down and totally mangled that first sleeve.  But it all came together in the end and my daughter is very happy with it.  Finished project:

I trimmed it with a yellow bow.  The bottom is 3 by 1 ribbing.  I was very happy with this project.
