This little sweater is taking a lot longer to complete then the yellow sweater!
It also seemed a bit bigger then the last puerperium sweater I made this spring. But I kept going until the end when there were only 7 button holes. THEN I checked my Ravelry notes. Oh. I'm knitting this one on size 8 needles. The last one was done on size 5!! Oh well. That means Baby V will get to wear her pink sweater longer then a few weeks at most!
I finished the first sleeve the other night but haven't cast on for the second. Then there's the buttons to sew on. This might be a WIP for a little longer! Even though I could probably sit and have it done in an afternoon!
Last night I finished reading Orphan Train. It was good! Took me a few chapters to get into it but once I did I didn't want to put it down. It made me want to go out and adopt a child. It's also made me so thankful that I'm able to care for my children myself and provide them a loving home with what they need and for the most part want. So many things taken for granted today even though there are still so many children who go to bed at night wondering where they'll be sleeping the next night.
After I finished the book though I was lost. I didn't have any other book to read. I need to go to the library today! The Bell Jar was on hold on Monday so I had to return that without reading it! Thankfully it's already back on hold for me at the library so it's just going to pick it up!
You are so right, now you can get more use out of your pretty little sweater!
ReplyDeleteI hope you find something great at the library.
I just love that little pattern----lucky baby!!! Good luck with the new read....I know how it is, finishing a great book...it's so hard to find one to live up to it! We're flying out of Bangor this morning....but flew in to Providence a week ago.....I'll have to just wave as we do a fly-over!!!!
ReplyDeleteCute sweater. I have now bookmarked about 6 baby sweaters to knit for a good friend. I'll need to pick one and get going. Her baby isn't due until Christmas, but it may take me that long to pick a project!
ReplyDeleteI have that book on my shelf. I"ll get around to reading it one of these days.
It's a cute sweater - better to be too big than too little!
ReplyDeleteYour book sounds really interesting, too :o)
Such a cute pattern and a pretty colorway! Happy knitting!
ReplyDeleteBigger is better than too small. She will get lots of good use out of it!
ReplyDeleteI put the book on my list, thanks for the recommendation! Funny that you are knitting on different needles :) I agree with Donna bigger is better than smaller. It's lovely!
ReplyDeletei just knit that sweater for my cousin who had her first baby - i don't think i'll ever tire of the pattern.
