Me: "Look honey. I finished my seamless sweater. Do you like it?"
Husband: "That looks great. But what are you going to do, go flying with those sleeves?"
Seamless sweater version 1.0
Close up of bell sleeves that I thought were such a nice touch...
Denying that the bell sleeves were, in fact, a bit too bell-y -- I wore my sweater to work and used my co-workers as a small focus group.
Nice co-workers: "Wow, the bell sleeves are pretty. I really like them. Unique."
Wise ass co-workers: "Hmmm. Nice sweater. But what's with those sleeves? Are they supposed to be that way?"
Oh well. As the saying goes: Ripping is a part of knitting...so I ripped. And re-did the sleeves.

What an adorable sweater (and kitty)!
Where did you find the pattern?
thank you!
the sweater pattern comes from the company called Knitting Pure and Simple. http://knitkittyknit.blogspot.com/
It's their standard seamless sweater pattern. They don't sell direct from their site but many yarn stores carry them. I got mine at Urban Knitting in SF when I took a "seamless sweater" class. We altered the pattern slightly, so if you buy one, let me know and I'll tell you how we changed it.
