A new sweater
December 31st, 2007 at 8:02 pm (kids-sweaters)
This is a baby sweater that I’m knitting out of Koigu KPPPM and some plain white fingering weight yarn. Normally the pattern is just a two color one, but I only had one skein of this Koigu; and the pattern says it only takes 50g of the contrasting color to make a 3 or 6 month size; so I’m hoping it’ll be enough. I can modify the pattern on the sleeves to leave a bit of the fair isle out if needed to make it work out.
The pattern is from dale baby designs nbr 162, pattern 09. There’s no name for it. It will have a small repeating heart motif up on the chest when I get that far. Does anyone want to propose a name for me to call this sweater?
In other news
My son wore the sweater I made him for Christmas today. Yay!! It looks great on him, the sleeves just have a little bit of extra length to them so he can grow a bit more, but not much; and the length is perfect (again, just a little room to grow). Pictures of that later. Also pictures later of the new toy that will show up on my door step later this week, cross your fingers! I’m annoyed that UPS didn’t work today as it would have shipped out today had they been working. I suppose they do deserve a small vacation after the christmas rush; but still. :)

ooooh! It looks so pretty! I love using nice variegated yarn with a solid. I can’t wait to see how it turns out.
