Baby Elephant Cardigan

 

According to Ravelry this is my tenth February baby sweater that I have knit for someone and it will not be the last.  Perhaps I have this pattern completely memorized? Almost.

I love that this sweater can be just the size that it is and will fit a baby whenever it wants to fit a baby. While I was digging through my button stash I found a lone elephant button. Mrs Nephew loves elephants so I sewed it prominently at the neckline.

    What a sweet little sweater. I love the way you added the contrasting color at the bottom and coordinated it with the buttons. The elephant at the top is perfect.

      On ravelry there is a list of places to find the pattern: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/baby-sweater-on-two-needles-february

      My copy is in the almanac book and in a very old vogue knitting issue.

    These colors go so well together. Reminds me of my unfinished Gramps cardigan for the nephew.

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!

  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).
