A Good Start

I have the yoke and about 1 1/2 inches of the bodice done on my spring sweater. It is knitting up fairly quickly, but I did have some issues with rowing on the yoke. I usualy knit in the round and forgot how much more difficult it is to maintain even tension when knitting flat. The rowing shows very little on the outside of the garment and I am hoping that I can fix it with blocking. If anyone has some advice on even tension while knitting flat, I would love to hear it!

I started my spring sweater last night! I'm about 8 rows in and so far so good. School is closed today for the weather, so I expect to get a good bit done. I am using Lion Brand Fishermen's Wool in Nature's Brown and intend to trim the neckline and sleeves with Natual. I'll post a pic once there is actualy something to look at.
