Vigdis - day one

From the very first moment I thought about playing with needles and yarn, I've wanted to knit the Vigdis sweater from Elsebeth Lavold's Wiking patterns. Ok, I have been knitting for only a few weeks, I think, and it may have been the third or fourth book I brought home from the library, so "very first moment" is ... not really very precise, but close enough. And today I have started. It may be my downfall. But I am well on the way through the first nice, simple, easy sleeve. Starting out slowly and carefully. Not yet a cable in sight.
