And baby makes three...

A friend of mine, well actually my husband's co-worker's wife who has become a friend since we have started knitting together, is just about to have her first baby. As we have a knitting group that meets at my husband's office every week, the other knitters there and I decided we would each make her something and have a little shower in the office for her. Since I finally finished this sweater and gave it to her today, I can now post it.


This is made with Debbie Bliss cashmerino - pure heaven, and I used the Debbie Bliss pattern in baby cashmerino 2 pattern book. It was very easy, but I'll admit it really was not all that fun and it took quite a bit longer than I thought for a baby sweater. Probably because I just had a heck of a time getting into garter stitch. And, even though I matched up gauge, I still ran out of yarn. Naturally because it has taken me so dad-blasted long to knit the thing they didn't have the same dyelot. Oh well. despite the bad photo that you see of it, I still think it came out rather cute.

In my charity group I run two KALs a month. We just finished one and so I thought I'd post the picture here. You can get the pattern in the free pattern section over in the bar on the right.


Clearly I need to learn how to operate my camera better. I created an adorable Easter KAL that will start April 1st in my group. I'm really excited about this one. It could be an afghan square or a dishcloth!!!
