The Xylem sweater

This seems to be a time for firsts. First design, and now an almost finished first sweater. I can't believe I   have not blogged the progress of this prior to this post! I started it some time back, and am using the Xylem pattern.

I will post more photos and the stats once I get it finished - it's still missing finishing around the neck, and serious blocking for the hem.

It's actually black, just looks purplish here!
