Despite the long vacations between posts, I have not forgotten how to knit. It seems rather, that I've forgotten how to blog. Like exercise, vitamins, and sleep, I should be knitting and blogging daily in order to remain "healthy" (or at the very least sane). Going forward, I will try to do just that - exercise, take my vitamins, knit, blog, and sleep. Nothing else!
Going backward, here is the sweater I knit for nephew O for his 4th birthday. This picture makes the sweater look huge, but fortunate for tiny little nephew O, the sweater is between a 4 and 6T. At his current growth rate, he should get a year or 2 of wear out of this one.
Duplicate stitching on the B was interesting. It wasn't difficult, it was just time consuming. If you've never done this technique before, I highly recommend watching a video tutorial. Stitching side to side (top and bottom of "B") produced a much nicer, flatter fabric than did the verticals. The verticals puff out a bit due to the yarn crossing back and forth on the inside of the sweater.
The pattern overall is wonder, easy, and quick. No seaming what-so-ever. I will actually be using this pattern again to make a sweater for niece A (nephew O's little sister).
Sweater Specs: Children's Neck Down Pullover, Dream In Color Classy in Happy Forest, Berroco Vintage in Wild Blueberry.
