My Christmas Week Knitting
My very lovely, very generous, and absolutely amazing friend Jenny sent me some leftover Lion Brand Cotton-Ease that she was trying to clear out before her recent move. She sent me 3 skeins, and I thought, "This would be a terrific yarn to do something baby related out of!" I started off in dire search of a suitable sweater: something simple and something that would leave me enough yarn to make a hat or booties out of. I came across the Baby Folkwear Caftan, but decided that the embroidery just had to go. It wasn't "manly" enough. :-)
Here it is, not yet blocked:
I didn't use quite one whole skein with this sweater. That leaves me more than enough to complete whatever else strikes my fancy. I'm thinking a hat with bear ears, using this blue as the ear insides!!
I am so proud of my seams on this baby! I really was able to take the time to calculate it all out on such a small sweater.
