Deep breath before the plunge

Pattern: "Jesse's Flames" from Stitch n' Bitch Nation
Yarn: Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran; MC blac and CC cream; 11 balls MC and 1 ball CC.
Needles: Addi Turbo US 8 and US 7
Cast On: October
Cast Off: February 7
Mods: Very few. Didn't do the flames. I added a garter edge to the bottom of the sweater. Didn' add color to the collar. That's it.
Comments:Exactly three days ago I managed to weave in all ends of the sweater for Raz that I finished on december. It is my first sweater and I'm quite happy how it came out, well the fitting at least is excellent but although I was on gauge the stitches with this yarn stretch a lot and the fabric tends to open a bit, so I should have used smaller needles, but well, Raz loved it and he even agreed to model! hehe.

I haven't knitted anything since I finished Odessa, Im resting my hands a bit for the olympics, catching up with my reading and re-learning hiragana. In a few hours I'll be casting on for my sweater, I can't wait.
