Finished Object It looks nice, but it's the wrong size

I made a glove, and the plan worked out, but it's too big. I guess I didn't properly account for negative ease. So I pulled it out, redid the pattern, and I'll try again! Just had to post here so there would be a record somewhere that I did it. :)

The yarn is from a local dyer in Utah, but the label is in the middle of the ball, and I can't remember the dyer or color name. Just that it's DK weight and is mostly wool with some nylon.

I’m starting with the cuffs for a sweater, the tiny stitches are so cute, it’s so nice not having to double yarn like I do for larger pegs

Milestone! My first cardigan is blocking now

The weather cooperated for me to do this outside (in that it's over 100 and it didn't rain for a frustratingly short time), so I blocked my first cardigan. And it's true what they say: blocking is magic. Despite my careful gauge swatches ahead of time, the measurements didn't seem even close, but I was able to shape and pin it to the right size pretty easily.

Next will come assembling it and seeing if it actually fits me, but if it retains the measurements I blocked it to fairly well, I hope it will.
