Baby sweater extravaganza!
My friend Amy had her baby Lila today, my birthday! I knit this little sweater for her over a month ago already, just never got around to blogging it... Lila's the baby bump in the background! It wasn't done in time for the baby shower so I gave it to Amy when our knitting group got together a few days later. The yarn is Mission Falls 1824 cotton, knit on 5 mm needles. using Debbie Bliss's charming (if possibly oversized) Ribbed Baby Jacket, that I personalized with ribbed cuffs and hem in addition to the contrasting colours. Yarn purchased half-price at Cloth & Clay's store closing sale. :( Ravelry details here.
It's been a busy month since last I wrote! And while I do intend to discuss more personal things here than just knitting in the future, I still do think of this as primarily a knitting blog, so it's time to share some of my latest finished objects!
Amy was fairly certain from the ultrasounds that she was having a girl, but she was panicking about what she would do if the baby turned out to be a boy, so I knit this in colours that were not too girly, just to be safe; blue and green has always been one of my favourite colour combinations. Aside from the way the front hem pulls up, I'm really happy with how this project turned out. (I should have taken a closeup of that clasp I got from Philosophers Wool last summer, it was gorgeous.) Of course, now that I know she's a girl, and that she shares my birthday, I desperately want to knit her something very, very feminine! I have a few different things in mind... I won't share any details just yet so that Amy can be a little surprised. In any case, more terribly cute baby things are sure to follow. For now, though, I have two more finished objects to share in my next post!
