I literally bound off the sleeve minutes before trying to get little T to model her new sweater for me. Okay, I bribed her with a cookie, but she certainly did not stand still for any of the photos. This is the same sweater from last week's Yarn Along. This time I used almost two full skeins of Plymouth Encore Colorspun. Although I used the exact same needles, this sweater came out much larger than the red one knit with Berroco Vintage Worsted. I call this sweater the chubbymaker. It makes little T look well, not so little. I didn't do any knit gauge. I just cast on and went with it. It's amazing how different yarns of the same weight knit up completely differently. I am partial to the red sweater. |
She will grow into it although the neck opening is already too small. |
Temporarily, I used a stitch marker to keep it together. Can you see that little light blue plastic safety pin? |
Here's the back of the Chloe shrug. I knit it a lot longer than the pattern notes. I really enjoy knitting with Spud&Chloe yarn! The colors are vibrant, soft and perfect for children's things! As for reading, I just started The Forgotten Garden last night. This novel is for next month's book club. It was very late, after midnight, when I opened the book. So, needless to say, I know I read less than five pages. Now, I'm trying to decide what to knit next. Maybe the Easter eggs? Please visit Ginny's for more good reads and yarn adventures! |

I love that pink yarn. I'd be right behind you with that pattern except that I know Sarah's head is big so the neck opening on Tess worries me...Which yarn is it, exactly?
And your chloe is darling-)
oooh... I'll have to check out the Easter Eggs. I'm between projects too since I just finished my first baby sweater! Thanks for the link...
