A Little White Baby Sweater With Eyelets




A few days ago I started working on another newborn sweater. It's very sweet. It has a v-neck, and several rows of eyelets. It's another  free pattern. Here is the link to the blog. It's called the Baby Eyelet Cardi. I've been enjoying the pattern. It's pleasant and meditative.



 
I love making baby clothes, because they knit up so quickly. It's exciting to see things get finished in such a short time. I plan to make some booties to match this, since I will have plenty of leftover yarn. It was given to me by a lady in my knitting group. There is something so fresh and innocent about white. It will suit either a baby boy or girl.




Yesterday  I picked from my stash  this lovely skein  that I bought myself for my birthday last October. I had planned to make another Lost In Time shawl with it. It's perfect for the hot weather. I think I will knit a shawl instead of crocheting one. I love the colors. It's a mixture of cotton and acrylic. I find that I wear shawls over sundresses for several months of the year. Now that it's getting to be so hot, I will switch over to a cotton blend. Most of the shawls that I have made are  a combination of wool and silk. One is alpaca. I'm becoming one of those shawl ladies. They are really fabulous as you get older. They cover all the right places...


 Sheepjies Whirl looks like a lot of fun to use. I am looking forward to watching the colors change as I knit. This shade is called Slice O' Cherry Pie.  It's a tough decision sometimes, whether to knit or crochet...

    I too will be knitting baby things in month or two for a friends grandchild. It's ages since I did any baby knitting. Currently eyeballing the six mandala yarn cakes that I bought but am waiting for a new book of patterns to arrive before I make a start

    I absolutely love the baby cardigan, how clever are you! Loving the new yarn too, I would find it fascinating watching the new colours appear and of course a new pattern at the same time.

      Thank you, Tania. I love it, too. New yarn is always exciting. I love the projects people have made with it on Ravelry.

      Hi Andrea, Yes I am! This is my first time using white yarn for a baby sweater. I have crocheted blankets with it. There is something so pure and classic about it.

    Sweet baby knits! Someday I will be a granny and can knit such things. Or I can just keep hoping. I like the idea of shawls. I have never knit one but I am thinking very seriously about doing at least one this autumn because Steve and I are going to Hawaii in January to visit our youngest and his wife and I will need something to cover up with. Do you think I am up to such a project?

    Yes, definitely, Anita. Shawls are fabulous, especially for travel. Your amazing lavender arrived today. It smells divine. Thank you! I left you a message on the forum. Hope to see you next week.
