It feels like I haven't knitted anything for a year. It hasn't been quite that long but it's true that I've been focusing on other things lately. But visiting the lovely knit shops in Nashville last weekend, I got inspired to get started again. I have a lovely California baby to knit for that hasn't had anything since the beginning so I found some beautiful Mandarin Petit, a cotton yarn, that I thought would be beautiful and bright. But I couldn't decide on a pattern.
Here's what I finally came up with:
It's from the Lanas Stop Bebe Baby 0-3 Book #120. It's a very cool multi-lingual book of baby patterns that I just couldn't pass up. Because I don't have that many baby patterns. That's my story, anyway.
So on to the sweater. I'm doing the main body in this chartreuse green and I'm going to do the cable band in yellow and then use yellow buttons. I think it will be ever so sweet and will work for her in California. It's knit from the top down with the cable band worked side to side. Should go pretty quick, too.
