moving on

ok, i still need to get buttons for the red aran cardigan - work was such sat that i didnt get out of my office much less the building all day - so no visits to the good notions store on west 57th...

but last wed i started on a little sweater from the baby book that's my latest fav... this one is for the first of two cousins born in the last two weeks - a little girl, sara kate, born to my cousin molly. i am using some of the sugar babies lily yarn i got on ebay (i love ebay for cotton yarn) its called baby dreams or something like that - its a multicolored yarn in pastels and white - i havent knitted anything this light in awhile and keep washing my hands to keep it from getting grimy - of course there was a wee bit of adjustment to the tension and weight of this year which i have never used. i took the basic garter sweater pattern from the baby book (see above) and adapted it - adding a seed stitch band with button holes (although i keep forgetting to do and then ripping back) and used moss stitch as the body - its a little more fancy (i get bored with garter stitch). i finished the body by thursday night and seamed the shoulders together - and started the sleeves. one is done and i am working on the second one. its a fast little sweater. and thats good since it would be good to get them done and to the mothers this month.

and then i need to finish those other baby sweaters for my nephew.... and get them in the mail..... he is getting so big already...oh well, its a long night here at the office ...
