I'm doing Bernat's knit hoodie for a friend's baby shower in 10 days and I hope I can finish seaming and doing the button bands by then! I've never assembled a sweater this way. I've always done raglan style baby sweaters so this will be a new experience for me :) The pattern also calls for buying buttons and covering them with knit swatches - YIKES! I'll give it a try then maybe just get some cute baby boy style buttons that don't need any extra fiddling around :) I'm using Lion Brand's Vanna's Choice yarn in Dusty Green, worsted weight. The sweater should be size 0-6mo.
The book is Fannie Flagg's I Still Dream About You. You may know she authored Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe. I love her style and have just started it. So far so good but I'm only a few pages into it. I'm hoping it's as well written and captivating as Fried Green Tomatoes :)
We've been fighting a bit of the stomach flu around here...wild man had it on Monday and now I've got it. Blah! I'm hoping it's just the 24hr variety like he had. My poor belly is feeling very unsettled :(
Hope you all have a wonderful week! I'll post more when my energy isn't flagging so much!

I'm a little envious of your knitting skills. I don't yet have the patience or skill to make sweaters. But I've discovered I really like the Vanna's Choice line of yarn. I was sort of turned off by her face on the package, but I really do like working with it.
ReplyDeleteI adore Fannie Flagg! The baby hoodie is so cute!
ReplyDeleteYour sweater looks alot like the one I just finished! It's the moss stitched edging, I'm sure. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThe baby hoodies is very lovely, I'm going to try that yarn with a purple finish for my nephew.
