I have some Louet Gems in white that I scored in a rummage sale, so I went to Mobile Yarns in search of some additional colors to add. Heidi fixed me up with some Plymouth DK Merino in green and yellow. I wanted to make a gender-neutral sweater, but I think this still says "boy" to me.
So far this is knitting up very quickly--I just started 6 days ago.
I just started the left (?) front, and I LOVE the little buttonholes! I have never knitted button holes, so this is exciting. They came out just perfect!
I am really enjoying this pattern. I don't have a baby in mind for the sweater, so I will just add it to the baby gift stash.
Oh I have been a knitter for years; but just lately my hands have given me grief so I can only do a few rows at a time (aaargh--drives me crazee!!) I like the buttonhole band a lot--very nice hugs, Julierose
