so cute i want to...


I finished baby gift #1...hopefully going to wrap it up and give it away tomorrow! I went a bit button overboard here, but found perfect little green flowers that look adorable with the sweater. It was astonishingly difficult to find buttons that match since this yellow is such a strange color (a very greenish yellow). The nice bright trim compliments it nicely and will help the sweater not look too washed out.

This was a modified version of a Cabin Fever pattern- the sweater was knit from the top down (meaning you start knitting at the collar and increase to begin the sleeves...after the body is done you go back and pick up the sleeves and knit them in the round as well; this means you don't have any sewing to do once the sweater is done!). The crochet edging was entirely my idea, not too bad for a beginner, wouldn't you say?

Another baby gift is soon to come, I cast on for the collar tonight but couldn't gather enough energy to knit. Amazing, right? So stay tuned.....for now, good night to all.
