A couple of months ago a friend emailed me and asked what I was currently knitting. As I typed my reply I thought, “goodness, almost all my favorite things in that one little sentence!”. At one time I said that if there was ever to be another baby in the house, this sweater would be the very first thing I knit. It wasn’t, but it is certainly one of the ones that I love the most. I modified the pattern fairly heavily to accommodate baby size, the weight of the yarn, the amount of yarn.
This project and these pictures are from a little while ago. I can’t believe how much younger she looks! And chubbier! Sweet smooshy, milk-mouth, butterball. She has stretched and thinned out quite a bit over the last month.
Wow! Love it! I wish there was an adult written pattern!
So beautiful! Christina
