Here's a sweater that I made a few weeks ago. I got the pattern from Bella Bambina. I haven't added the buttons yet, but I will over the weekend. It was the first thing I made with Bernat Baby Softee yarn, which is the same yarn I used to make the slanted shell stitch blanket. I'm not sure where the sweater is going yet. I would like to give it to my friend Melissa, but she doesn't want to know the sex of the baby, and I'm thinking that the ruffles are decidedly feminine.
I took a trip to Michaels last night and bought a skein of Snuggly Wuggly yarn. Turns out the yarn was on sale. If I would have known, I would have grabbed a few more. I'm going to make the coat sweater pattern from Bella Bambina with it. I've been wanting to try the pattern since Kelly posted it. I bought Baby Pastel Ombre, and I thought that it would be a good unisex sweater for Melissa's baby. It also kind of matches the yarn I used for the blanket. I can't wait to start it, but I'm still working on the round baby blanket. I'm very close to finishing it. I think I have six rows before I get to the border. I'll post a picture of it when I'm done. It's different from anything I've done, and the pattern was very easy once I figured out how to work the cluster stitch.

I like your new blog layout! Very Nice!
ReplyDeleteI also love the sweater.
Thanks! They had instructions on the site that I got the background on how to do a three column layout. They have such nice templates.
ReplyDeleteIsn't the sweater nice? I'd like to make another one with the Snuggly Wuggly yarn, which is a little thicker.
I think I have 3 sweaters with buttons, which I'm going to try and do this weekend.
