See? I knit. I do. It just most of the knitting I'm working on is Christmas Knitting and that cannot be blogged about until it is gifted.I knit this sweater for a co-worker couple who welcomed their first child at the end of September. Mateo went to his first high school football game last week and was rockin' the knit couture.
Sweater: Child's Placket Neck Pullover from Last Minute Knitted Gifts, modified, of course.
The body was knit in the round to the armpits, as were the sleeves. Sleeves and upper front and back were done back and forth, then I only had to sew the sleeves to the body along the raglan shaping. I left the front left seam unattached, then picked up stitches up one side of that seam, around the collar and down the other half of the seam to make a button band since babies have HUGE heads. Some simple yo button holes and a stockinette rolled collar finished it. The embroidery on the back was done with duplicate stitch.
Yarn: Berroco Touche in Ganges (dark blue) and Jeanne from Plymouth Yarns (white).
Hat: Basic Baby Hat- my own fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants pattern. I made a hat, just small for baby. And if you ask me for the pattern, I will SuperPoke you.
Yarn: Leftover Touche and Jeanne in gray.
And look! Another baby sweater!
Another Placket Neck Pullover, this time in Rowan's Felted Tweed in Herb. This one was for another co-worker who is having a little girl in January.I love this yarn so much that I am knitting a sweater for myself form the same yarn. This one to be exact.
But Christmas knitting must be completed first.....
