It's Debbie Bliss's Classic Cardigan from Essential Baby. Jamie picked out the yarn from Erica's, and later when we were at Joann's he picked out two different kinds of buttons and I realized at least one of them would be perfect with the yarn. So after finishing the sweater in month, it took me three more months to sew up the two seams, sew on the buttons and weave in the ends. Which is what I did at our knitting brunch today. I hate HATE HATE seaming! Anyway, it's finally done. I tried it on Jamie and it was huge on him. I thought it would end up a size 3T, but it's more of a 4T. It's basically a sweater jacket. I'll try to get a photo of him wearing it. It's a perfect blue for him.Next, here are some dish cloths, bath cloths, and trivets I made recently. A couple are missing, but you get the idea. All of them are 100% cotton Lily's Sugar and Cream in various colors and patterns. First is the pastel trivet in Colorwave pattern.
Next is the Open Star dish cloth in a variegated yellow and white.
Now we have a dish cloth square pattern from Lion Brand.
And here is Chinese Waves, which is my personal favorite for dish cloths. I've made several.
And here is Bee Stitch, which is great for bath cloths. I gave this one to Mama since her bath puff died and needed a new one anyway. She loves it, and I must say that while I didn't care for how the pattern feels to make it, it looks great and makes a great fabric. Mama liked the blues of it especially.
And here are some gratuitous photos of my girl. Here is her "I love Mama" smile reserved only for me.
And here is her flirtatious laugh. It's usually followed by a huge grin which some how I always miss photographing. But isn't she just beautiful?
