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!
Very pretty sweater and GORGEOUS blooms!!!
ReplyDeleteThat 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.
ReplyDeleteI'm so envious of your garden. I think our late snow storm has really hurt the spring flowers.
ReplyDeleteI love the sweater, may I ask where you found the pattern?
ReplyDeleteHere is to the spring and more happy knitting :)
I love azaleas! They were our floral decor at our wedding. Cute baby sweater, you will have it down to 1 hour eventually I am sure.
ReplyDeleteI hope our azaleas recover from the torture of our recent snow and cold! That's a pretty sweater for some lucky baby.
ReplyDeleteVery sweet little cardi! And those azaleas are a serious WOW!
ReplyDeleteYour lessons for the knitting machine are producing some really cute items.
ReplyDeleteMine are already done blooming, they were here early this year.
ReplyDeletePretty pinks!
