I got the buttons and finished up the intarsia sweater. I had to make something for my toddler as she was keenly waiting for something to fit her, trying on all the little baby projects while I worked on them, recently. So I promised her a sweater with flowers. It took care of my need for some color work too, as well as using up some of the leftover yarns. I made a few changes to the
pattern, omitting the side slits, doing garter rib instead of seed stitch and added a crochet trim around the collar cuffs and bottom. I knit the 3-4 year size, so it is a bit large on her for now. However she is quite happy with it, flowers, pockets and all.
She looks adorable. I knit that lacy sweater from the same book and the daisy dress for my friend's daughter, it is a really lovely book.
ReplyDeleteI love the sweater, and your daughter looks beautiful in it :)
ReplyDeleteThat's the way I like my own sweaters to fit...even though I hope I won't be growing any more!
