I just have to finish sewing up some seams and adding the buttons.
This sweater I knit using organic cotton yarn and I will be adding our own handmade hemlock buttons. It came out to be a 2T or 3T.
For the pattern, I took the basic concept from the Matinee Jacket. I just loved the idea of working each of the parts separately on straight needles - right and left front, back, and each sleeve. I knit each part in the order that they then go on circular needles and then knit a garter stitch yoke, with three button holes, back and forth on the circular needles.
I am thinking about actually working up a "real" pattern with different sizes and everything.
Last night I finished up Saved by Ben Hewitt. - Truly an excellent read, one that I will be sharing more about in another post.
What are you knitting and reading?
