And I didn't exactly learn any actual sweater knitting techniques...
But it's another quick, easy and fun pattern to make little ornaments for next Christmas! I used leftover self-striping sock yarn, which is why one side is green and the other is red. The pattern, by Ruth Karohl, is here. The sweater is knit flat in one piece, and then seamed together. It took about two hours to complete, maybe even less.
Two other patterns I've looked at are here and here. The first is knit in the round, and I could learn about raglan sleeves; the second is knit flat, and I could learn to pick up stitches for the sleeves. Unfortunately the holiday hours are ticking away, and it's time for me to turn my attention to the first week back at work. But the MLK holiday is only a few weeks away...

Very sweet. I like the first sweater link worked in the round as a next project.
Yes, MLK, I'm already thinking about that, too. But there are still 2 more days to this vacation, right? Unless you are serving somewhere on Sunday?
And a clever little hanger, too!! Isn't it fun to have some quick little projects that use up planned-over yarn scraps. You did an excellent job with your first sweater!
Peace-
