Sweet Azaleas

 Another baby sweater-are you tired of the yarn yet?!  
It sure works out nicely for all of my experiments, though.
This one is the 2 hour baby cardigan but it took me almost 2x that long!
Maybe on  my fifth one I will hit the two hour mark!
This is about a size 6-9 months and is knit from front to front all in one piece 
even with the raglan sleeves! 
Once I began to understand the instructions for the sleeve portions, 
I could then move right along!  
I even knit the front bands without a hitch-well, almost--the extra 4 rows on the front bands 
messed up the center of the sweater fronts--they are too wide just that little bit which makes a little centering problem. 
Sigh.
  Noted for the next project!
I blocked this and steamed the edges and then crocheted the edges around neck, 
hem and sleeve hems.  
I'm ready to buy a skein of this yarn for boys and keep up the practice roll!
Come on up my Azalea lined driveway for a visit!
It's the same colors as the yarn!

  2. That sweater project is still fascinating. I love your blooms. We tried planting a row of azaleas up the driveway last year and every single one died.

  3. I'm so envious of your garden. I think our late snow storm has really hurt the spring flowers.

AHHH, SOCKS ON THE NEEDLES!

 The new yarn is pleasant to work with--enjoy as soft as KnitPicks Stroll but not as rough as LionBrand's sock yarn.  I do love the colo...
