Baby February Sweater Complete


I wish I had a baby here to model this sweater.  A borrowed baby that is.  I finished knitting this sweater on Sunday but then had to find buttons and bury in the ends.  I made this sweater before and posted about it here.  I will probably be making one more before winter is over.  Seems to be a baby season.


This little sweater is for my husband's previous graduate student.  He and his wife are expecting a girl.  I do not know when and my husband probably doesn't remember either.  So hopefully my dear husband has an address so we can ship off the gift close to the baby's due date.

    That is beautiful! I love how many variations of this sweater there seems to be just by knitters using different yarn.

    Oh, your sweater turned out so lovely! I love the purple at the bottom. I'm definitely going to have to try this now without the lace.

    Some little girl will look awfully smart!

Weekends

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh!

So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than...

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
