this might not be what you want to hear, clare, but if you are a new knitter, which I think you are, then you really need to practice on something smaller first before tackling a sweater. firstly its important to get your tension right, which will determine if a given size on a pattern will come out right. why not try to get a really simple pattern for something small, like a scarf, and just practice until you feel confident enough to tackle a larger project. keep at it though, knitting has given me a huge amount of pleasure over the years, I learnt when I was 5 years old. best wishes, and please dont get too upset, love joy xx
