finally!

okay, here she is blocking a couple of days ago:

and today:

things I've learned:
stockinette stitch is REALLY boring for a sweater
I stink at seaming
I need to learn to block

I usually don't block anything, because all I seem to make are baby hats and sweaters...
didn't really know what blocking was all about before.
I pulled out my vogue knitting book which had some information but I found more here at knitty and a little bit here.
it helped with the wonky sleeves (they still pucker a bit) and the button band..there is still a little bit of wonkiness here:

voila!
