Sweaters, Oh My!

I have completed two very cute little sweaters. The first one, I added a little pocket and the flower buttons. It was originally supposed to be a baby sweater, but I think the pattern was off. Once I completed it, I took it to a store and compared it in size to other shirts/sweaters in the kids section, and it’s about a size 2T. So much for a baby sized sweater! Since no one I know has a kid who fits in that size, I have let the shop use it as a display in the window until I can find someone to give it to.

In the meantime, I played around a bit and created this little number. I’m not going to put on buttons, but I do want to add some embellishments, maybe embroidery or something cute to spice it up a bit. It’s the smallest little thing I have done, and darn right adorable. It may actually be too small for a newborn, but if that’s the case it will make a great sweater for a teddy bear. It’s a win-win. I am sure the cute couple who I have in mind for this will love it either way. They are due in about 3 weeks, so I have to finish it this weekend and get a little box to put it in.

My next project is a raglan sweater that has embroidered detailing. We’ll see what size it comes out. And, I need to make something for my friend Payal’s two girls. Maya just started kindergarten (Holy cow how did that happen? I remember holding her when she was only two days old!) and little Kayla is about 18 months. Since they live in Hawaii, I can’t very well make them sweaters. But, I can make them skirts. My next mission is to find a cute pattern and get knitting!
