Stitches East was a success on Saturday! I have a lot of new yarn, and a few new books filled with projects that I can’t wait to start. I had one skein of yarn that stood out in particular, it’s a skein of String Theory Caper Aran. I got it in this really lovely grape color. I just couldn’t wait to get a project started so around 4:30pm on Saturday I cast on the Baby Roots Cardigan in the 0-3 month size. The yarn was flying off my needles, which were going a hundred miles a minute, and I soon realized that if I kept knitting at that pace I could finish it before bed. And so I did! I wove in the ends around 11:30pm. I think that this might be my favorite FO, but that might have something to do with who I made it for! The pattern was clearly written and easy to follow and free…and the yarn…. I wish I had bought some more!
Sunday, I cast on another new project! This one I’ll keep the details a secret for a few more weeks, but here is a sneak peek. I’m about 70% done already and that is why I love baby knits. They go so quick and they’re adorable. It’s going to be hard to go back and pick up Aidez for the Nice & Knit-along but these sweaters count too, right?
Beautiful!
Kara, I still can’t believe you finished that in one night! Looks BEAUTIFUL!
Oooh I keep coming up with little adorable bottoms in my mind, to go with that sweater!! Might have to buy something to go with it for my little neice :)
That little sweater is darling!! Love the pattern and the yarn!! Great job!!
Ah, and this is why I wish I was having a girl. Very cute stuff. Purple is a rockin’ baby girl color!
The baby sweater is adorable, Kara. I love the color!
Minnie is definately going to be the best “knit” little girl around!
The sweater is adorable and will look even better with your baby wrapped in it!
Love the pattern and the yarn and the color!!
Wow! I continue to be amazed by your knitting talents! I wish I could go that fast! (or maybe just a little faster than I do;)
So cute!
