Pattern: Presto Chango from Jimmy Beans WoolYarn & Needles: Cotton Ease in Pistachio, 1.5 balls. Knit Picks options size US9 (I've lost my US8s, otherwise I would have knit this on slightly smaller needles)
Verdict: Too cute. Maybe I should start "collecting".... My gauge and tension are both funky in cotton, wool is much more forgiving. But since I have about 20 more balls of cotton ease I've got plenty of yarn to practice on. I might make a few more fronts before I hand this over (mini-AnnaSara is due in August). I'm guessing that in a pinch the spare fronts could double up as burp cloths? Mommas, what do you think?
such a cute baby sweater! i see nothing wrong with "collecting" :) also, i agree with cotton yarn. wool is definitely more forgiving!
ReplyDeleteOh it is adorable. Nothing wrong with having a baby chest for future.
ReplyDeleteI love the presto chango! I say a few extra panels is good, spills and urps happen, no need to change the whole outfit. Sure burp cloths...but after awhile everything becomes burp cloth anyway. Lovely. :-/
ReplyDeleteWell, it's been a while since I had to think about burp cloths but I think it sounds like a great idea to knit up extras. :) That's a cute little design whether knitted to give away or to set aside for future little ankle biters. ;)
