Sweater



i've been working on this sweater for about 3 1/2 weeks and i finally finished it yesterday. today is my first day to wear it. i'm very excited about it because i designed this one myself and it turned out how i wanted it too. i recently bought the book The Knitter's Handy Book of Sweater Patterns: Basic Designs in Multiple Sizes & Gauges by ann budd. i was able to use this book to come up with my own pattern. another thing i did when knitting this sweater was to knit both sleeves at the same time. i just cast on two sleeves onto one needle. it was great because i was knitting them at the same time i didn't have the problem of one sleeve longer than the other.

Blue Baby Sweater



i finally finished this sweater today. i had started it sometime this fall when i was in between other projects and needed something simple to work on. i had all the pieces finished and they just needed to be put together. so today i did it. i got the pattern free from lion brand here.
