Rebecca's Little Sweater- Green Mountain Spinnery


Okay, so I have a niece coming soon and we are very excited about the event. When I heard the news I immediately started knitting the Debbie Bliss Teddy Bear All-In-One and was really enjoying the pattern. However, the yarn I chose was a sort of blue tweed (very pretty and I bought the yarn to make a sweater for my girls), but it was something that would be considered for a boy. Anyway, when I found out the beautiful baby would be a girl I knit this little number using Cotton Comfort in Violet. I think it turned out great. I need to wash it and block it today and get it in the mail tomorrow.
Oh, if you are making this pattern, beware- with all the decreases it gets fiddley (wd?sp?). I hope I did it right, I just mathematically calculated how many stitch repetitions I could do and how many stockinette stitches along the side I'd need.


I didn't style the photo because I had to charge my camera so I was stuck to the kitchen wall and I figure I'm not a designer or artist so this is a straightforward shot!
