A Very Happy Birthday

Today, I finished the sweater. For the first one, I'm very proud of how it turned out. Alex is very happy :)

This is what the sweater looked like last night- one sleeve left and the collar

I'm pretty sure that he's looking around to make sure that there isn't anyone watching...

Doesn't he look so dreamy? 

I would like to note that I already have the next sweater pattern picked out: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/february-lady-sweater

And the yarn: http://www.knitpicks.com/yarns/Swish_DK_Yarn__D5420168.html (The color I'm going to use is "Rouge")

Interestingly, my birthday is in February. I promised Alex I wouldn't buy any more yarn until January. That means that at 12:01am January 1, 2013 I will hit the "send" button and place a small crater dent in the checking account. I'm lobbying for a new set of needles from Knit-Picks too, but I better not get my hopes to high...
