Cute Little Baby Sweater

It's so nice to be back in the knitting groove again. This mess of yarn and pieces is a nearly-done baby baby sweater:

The pattern is from Knit Picks - I have never seen so many errors in a pattern before. It's a mess. I'm only relying on it for proportions because none of the rest of it makes any sense.

As I mentioned, it's going on an auction for our church. It will be fun to see how much it brings in.

I'm starting to get psyched about my next project - I'm going to pull stuff out of my stash and see what I can come up with. Stay tuned!

Moonset

I grabbed my camera this morning to capture my son boarding the bus underneath a beautiful moon as it set behind the mountains. My camera did not do the scene justice.

I finished the Fanasaeter sweater on Saturday and presented to my sister-in-law, who attended my son's football game.

I elected not to put on the braid trim - I was afraid it would pucker and pretty much ruin the whole thing.

Fortunately, Baby Abby is a tiny little thing and the sweater is still too big for her. Any other baby would have outgrown the thing, it took me so long to finish it.

I've got another baby sweater as a WIP at the moment. I think I'm going to offer it to the church ladies for an upcoming auction.

Knitting seems to have resumed - a combination of the cool weather, completed projects, and renewed interest (it had waned for whatever reason). So stay tuned - maybe knitblogging will resume as well.
