The Pinwheel Sweater

The pinwheel sweater for my daughter is finally done. And even if I say it myself, it looks gorgeous. I enjoyed knitting it although the last rounds on the pinwheel were a little tedious. I did the i-cord edging in two colors like in the adult version. The main yarn is Bally ( a local pakistani acrylic dk yarn) and the contrasting one is local boucle-like yarn. The needle sizes I used were 5.00mm and 4.50mm.

It was hard to get my daughter to agree to the photo shoot in this heat, but I did manage to get a picture. It is still a little large for her. But she is still only 23 months old and the sweater is supposed to fit sizes upto 4 year. Hopefully, she will better fit into it by winter and be able to wear it for a couple of years more, inshallah.

On The Needles

I seem to have started a lot of projects at the same time. I am knitting a cardigan for my son. It is my own design. I still have done the back and right front. I am using a cable pattern down the middle of each front. The cardigan is going to have two pockets as well.

The other knitting project is a sweater for my daughter. It is the Pinwheel Sweater pattern. I am nearly done with the body. Have to do the egding and sleeves. The picture is an earlier one before the armholes were knit. The armhole instructions are a bit tricky, otherwise it is a straight-forward knit and quite quick too.

I am also doing a few gift projects in crochet. I will post details and photos later. In the coming week, I also plan to sew the sockbags for my contest(inshallah).
