Baby Sweater is Go!

6 Replies

It’s done!  And I gotta say, it’s really satisfying to make a whole sweater in about a week (OK, maybe it was two, but I was dawdling).I love the little wooden buttons (that I found in my button stash!) and the Berroco Vintage is so stinking soft and cozy.  I love the little-old-man collar and the cute little raglan shoulders.I even love the fact that it the sweater has one green cuff.  I ran out of gray at the last minute, and while I could have ripped back the sweater and taken some of the length off of the bottom of the sweater (it did turn out a little long… I think… how big are babies, again?), but I wanted to keep this project as quick and easy as possible.  So, I just grabbed a little green Vintage I’ve had stashed away.  It ended up being perfect!

I wish grown-up sweaters worked up as fast as ones for babies!

Have you done any fun, quick projects lately?

My friends just had their first baby girl on Saturday!  I’m so happy for them, and I can’t wait to meet little (actually, she’s almost 10 pounds, so she’s not so little) Naomi.

Naomi’s hobbies include sleeping, eating, and pooping.  She enjoys spending time with her family, and is looking forward to when she can sit up on her own.  Her long-term goals include learning to walk, and learning how to read.

Naomi is currently exploring her career options.  Of course, a proper command of English is a required for most of these career paths, but she figures she’ll have that sorted out within a year or two.

Naomi is considering a career in aviation (as soon as her legs are long enough to reach the pedals, of course).
