Last year I was doing a bunch of knitting in anticipation of Ellie’s arrival. This sweater is one of the crowning achievements–a Debbie Bliss sweater from a cotton yarn (that I’d purchased a bunch of with the intent of knitting Will a sweater that I ended up chickening out of). After I finished this, it looked a little plain and boy-ish, so I ran some scrap hot pink wool yarn through the edges as a trim and it made all the difference. I’m so glad that it is the right size at the right time!
Pattern: Ribbed Baby Jacket by Debbie Bliss. Yarn: Rowan All Seasons Cotton in Cookie
I spent part of the afternoon machine quilting the Halloween quilt. Hopefully it will be finished up tomorrow, but with a shoot w/ a young family early tomorrow morning, plus church + breakfast and finishing off some Real Work, I think my hopes might be a little too high!
Mom - So cute! what a great idea to run the pink thru! You have excellent crafting skills!
