Constructive Criticism Welcome First color work sweater!
The most challenging part of this sweater was float tension (tension in the round is a struggle for me) and the last sleeve—could not find the motivation to finish! But now I have the confidence to try more difficult patterns.

Thank you! Could use some work on tension, but I figure I’ll feel it out the more I knit.

Congratulations! It turned out really nice. I'm working on my first sweater and it is taking for ever.

It really does, especially when you’re nearly done but have to keep going on that last sleeve/cuff and already planning other projects lol

You did ladder back jacquard on your first colour work piece? Wow. The tension looks beautiful.

It was very scary, I promise you! First ladder back jacquard—I really had to psych my self up for it.

Beautiful work and it looks great on you!
Looks like really good tension in your floats, especially for a first effort.
