Here’s another addition to the ETG baby wardrobe…almost done.
Just have the second sleeve to finish, sew the seams and weave in the ends. I’m not sure what to do about the front closure. Traditional button band, Icord edging with invisible button hole, toggles (that may be a bit too much for a baby sweater)?
So far I’ve used one full skein and about 1/3 of a second of Colinette Jitterbug in Morello Mash. I love this little sweater and the yarn even more. So there was much agonizing over using it for this project since this particular color was so hard to find. I really wanted to use it for socks. But two more skeins just arrived from Kaleidoscope Yarns (kyarns.com). I did a google search on Tuesday and it was the first time their site popped up. I called and BINGO!!! It arrived today. Woohoo!!
Is there anything more classic and perfect then an Elizabeth Zimmermann pattern. I’ll have more details when it’s done. Soon….
Hi Denise,
I don’t see you at the store on Sundays anymore! Well good for you if you are taking Sundays off. What days are you there?
That Christmas knitting is a slog, I still have some things to finish. I signed on for the February is for Finishing group on Ravelry, hoping to get some traction on all this. But I did start a gansey sweater for Brian of Beaverslide yarn that is seeming to knit itself. (He got the yarn in a box for Christmas!)
Good health to you and the peanut! Hope to see you sometime,
Julie
Somehow I missed this post. Maybe it was when Ravelry was not updating friends blog posts.. anyway..
Love the sweater. And the yarn… yummy, You know, you would look great in a matching sweater in that yarn. Just a thought.
Your sweater is gorgeous! Morello Mash is my FAVORITE Jitterbug color.
