I just bought a sweater (some assembly required)

Dear Diary,

I finished one of the Sodera Socks, but it didn't quite fit over my fat little calf, so I'm giving them to my littls sister in the end. However, since they aren't working out for me very well, I decided to get going on the Cherie Amour sweater from Knitty. So far, I've purchased some yarn that looks like this:

I'm so excited for it to get here and to cast on! I haven't knit a sweater in forever and I am really stoked.
