Every time I finish a wee little baby sweater I block it, sew on the buttons and I think to myself: "This is it, this is the cutest little thing I've ever seen. I can't possibly knit anything any sweeter." But eventually I cast on for another little sweater and I end up feeling exactly the same way about it. This little guy is no exception. I'm gaga over it. The handspun paired with Frost DK. The contrasting colour bind off on all the hems. Those perfect buttons that look like they have glimmering drops of water on them. Sigh... it's almost too much.
Knitting this sweater made me realize how much I love handspun yarn. It never disappoints. So full of texture and intrigue. I think I might carve out a bit of time this weekend to do some more spinning.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend. I hope to spend mine spinning, knitting, cleaning out my garden and generally chillaxing.

Simply adorable.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree, every baby knit you make comes out so beautifully but I think the handspun gives this one an extra special touch!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Nice job. I adore this pattern, and how well it lends itself to adding one's own spin (ha ha; didn't even mean to do that). Yours is gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteThese every baby knit you make comes out so beautifully. I like this pattern and design. I like it very much. I appreciate for your work.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly looks sweet! And I have to agree that you will probably knit something even cuter soon! But it's probably the effect of being "new"! Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteAll your baby sweaters make me want to knit tiny things for babys and I don't even have any babies to knit for.
ReplyDeleteThat sweater is so beautiful! I love the almost-teal handspun paired with Frost, it looks so great together. I'm always impressed by the beauty of handspun, it really is something special.
