Can you believe I already finished it??? Neither can I!!
I'm definitely a fan of knitting baby clothes. This worked up so quickly! The pattern is the
Baby Sophisticate by Linden Down. All my Ravelry notes are
here. I learned a ton of new things making this little sweater. It is a seamless, top down design, and the sleeves are knit in the round. I took
Myrna's advice and knitted the sleeves using the 2 circular needle technique. It worked really well! I'm still a little scared of DPN's. Also new to me was shaping with short rows and making buttonholes. The cardigan fronts are knit with a slip stitch selvage, which you then pick up to knit the front band. I'm so excited to have learned so much on one garment! Although to be fair, since I know so little about knitting, there is still a lot to learn!
I hope it fits him when he arrives!
What do you think?
From the side?
It looks all right to me!
It feels to me like nothing is coming from my sewing room right now, but I have been hard at work, cutting out Halloween and Ren Fest costumes. Mitch is taking the kids today so that I can spend the day sewing. Isn't he a sweetheart? Hopefully I'll have a costume or two to show you soon!
