Just In Time......It's Cold Outside!!!

I finished up this sweater for Ethan this past week. I used this pattern by Wendy Bernard. I think if I make it again I will not make the neck so high. Ethan does not have much of a neck yet....so this sweater looks like a turtleneck on him....and unfortunately, he does not like that aspect. But it is cute. If I make it again, I may even make the cardigan version because another issue I experienced was making the neck large enough to fit over his head. I had to pull out the bind off stitches once and re-do it to make it stretchy enough.

I think the yoke is pretty neat. You can make the sweater using as many or as few colors as you want. I used three because I thought any more would be too busy for such a little sweater.

It was definitely a fun and fast knit considering it was knit in the round from the bottom up. I like to knit things in the round because they seem to go faster for me. When I have to purl it slows me down some. I have already cast on for another sweater for Ethan. I am using a different pattern and I think it is adorable too.

I think I finished this sweater in about two weeks. Then I put it in the guest room to block and forgot about it for a few days.

We had a very productive craft weekend here.....we stayed home a lot since it was only 32 degrees for the high temperature. I have lots of pictures to show this coming week of many things I have finished up and some that Emily has completed. It seems that every time I cross something off my list, I find myself putting another five items to make onto the list......guess that's why I am always working on at least five to ten projects at any given time. But I guess it keeps me busy and out of trouble!!!
