Happy Spring! I'm ignoring the snow that is still outside from yesterday's storm and instead focusing on the brilliant sunshine that is streaming through my windows! Oh and the yellow of Ree's Easter Sweater!
I finished it over the weekend and I am so pleased (for the most part) with how it came out. Saturday morning I sat down and told Ree that I wasn't getting up until it was finished. She then proceeded to dance around me waiting. She picked out a butterfly button to use instead of the ties that the pattern calls for. As soon as the last end was woven in she put it on and declared it "absolutely beautiful." I wanted to get some pictures of her in it but she didn't want any of that.
I really liked the pattern. Very easy to follow and it's so pretty with the lace detail. I didn't care for the two ties to hold it together that it called for, so instead I knit a short i-chord and made a button loop. The only thing I would change would be the yarn. It's Bernat baby & I think for now on I will stick with making just baby things with it. It makes the sweater very heavy & doesn't hold shape that great for a moving 3 year old. But she loves, it looks great on her, and I really do think she'll need a sweater this year for Easter! March is turning out a lot colder then I had been hoping for!
It is beautiful!! love the button you chose and I can't wait to see your daughter in it when Easter rolls around :)
ReplyDeleteIt came out beautifully! We are buried under snow here as well, but the sun is a big bonus! And I am hoping it melts the snow quickly!
ReplyDeletevery sweet and just in time for easter!
ReplyDeleteThere is something so old-fashioned or vintage (in a very good way) about this sweater that makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteIt came out just beautiful, really and truly beautiful. Please take pictures of Ree modeling it when she's in the mood so we can see.
ReplyDeleteHappy spring!
I love it! Beautiful job, Jen!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the sweater. It is beautiful and sounds like it is much appreciated. : )
ReplyDeleteLovely! And the color us perfect for Easter! We are supposed to get more snow this weekend. Ugh. But we need the moisture so can't complain too much.
ReplyDeleteVery cute sweater! Well done! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful and you're right, it will definitely be sweater weather. But then, we can never trust March in New England. (Or April really, either!!) It was just arranged that we'll be going out to eat on Easter so I have to figure out a spring-ish outfit that won't leave me freezing. ;)
