For Baby

I feel like I'm cheating a little here with the yarn along this week.  This is a project I finished a few weeks ago for a friend.  It is my second In Threes pattern.  I promised you two weeks ago that I would make three of these and this was my second.  A friend of mine gave me some dark purple yarn to make the third but that will have to be after Christmas. 

This is the before:


And this is the after:


  I quick took a picture at the end of the baby shower when I realized I hadn't taken a snapshot of the completed project.  I also made her a bib and some pretty burp clothes.  I almost want a sweater like that for myself!
  I might have to make this one.

The book that I will be reading is Louisa May Alcott's Christmas Treasury.  It is waiting for me right now at the library.  I read it to the girls last year and I think that I will have to actually buy the book and make it a tradition.  It is full of virtue and sacrifice.  Maybe a little will rub off on us!

  1. What a cute little cardigan! I love the color and buttons, too. And that book looks like a good one, definitely one to read every Christmas!

  3. I love the sweater! I am currently making the Tea Leaves Cardigan for myself and it seems like it's taking forever even though it's an easy pattern. I think that's why I like making socks, they go faster...lol.
    Love your blog!
