#1 Knit a sweater for myself

I've knit 3 sweaters for other people, but I have not made a sweater for myself. It would be wildly cool to get a "nice sweater" compliment and say, "Oh thanks, I made it." This sweater needs to be the ultimate package: easy enough to match my skill set, cool, and something I'd actually wear (which generally means tight). I chose Sesame from an old issue of Magknits. It doesn't quite fit the bill in all areas, but I'll always take another simple cardigan. I found Owls on Ravelry a few days later, but as much as I'd like to jump ship and start making that, I'd rather just finish what I started.
