It has been a little quiet over here. I'm working diligently on two projects but also doing a fair amount of sewing. However, I did manage to finish baby sweater and it's ADORABLE.
See? The perfect little sweater to knit when Winter is desperately trying to become Spring. It reminds me of verdant fields and little lambs.
Pattern: Welcome to the Flock by Julia Farwell-Clay
Yarn: Vesper Sock Yarn in Ivy League (green) and scraps of white and brown for the sheep
Needles: US #3 (3.25 mm) & US #5 (3.75mm) Hiya Hiya Sharp Interchangeables
Mods: I used larger needles than the pattern called for since my gauge was too small using the needles listed in the pattern. The pattern calls for a sport weight yarn knit at a dk gauge but I used a heavy sock yarn that knit up beautifully on size five needles. Fair warning, there are two rows of colorwork where you are knitting three colors in the same row which makes keeping even tension difficult. So worth it.
Oh my goodness, that is just the best color green for that sweater. That is the sweetest sweater I have seen in awhile. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think this green just screams Spring.
DeleteErin, that is the most adorable baby sweater I have ever seen!!!! And I love the color!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that is so darling. I love the bright green-it really makes the little sheep pop! And the buttons match perfectly. I can't get over how adorable that is!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kat! I magically had just the right buttons in my button stash and that NEVER happens.
DeleteThis is hands down the cutest sweater I have ever seen!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Erin! I think there's an adult version, too, if you want one for yourself!
DeleteThis is indeed absolutely adorable!!
