Yarn: On Line Linie Tessa
Pattern: Debbie Bliss Baby Knits. The Cable and Seed Stitch Jacket.
Adjustments: Many. But is was really simple. The jacket it basically a back, 2 fronts and sleeves, no waist or armhole shaping. So I made it to fit about 3-6 months...I think! I also had a little tighter gauge...so there was some math involved.
I picked up these cute little flower buttons...
I love knitting for girls!
I threw it in the washer yesterday and laid it flat to dry on top of the dryer...no change...
(the colour change is my camera, I took this pic downstairs with the flash)
This was suppose to be a christmas knit for my new niece that is arriving anytime now....but I think it will be a look-you're-just-born-gift because I have my eye on another sweater for christmas!
Oh, A little eye candy friday...
Today is my eldests 4th birthday! The caped crusador cake is underway...just waiting for it to cool so I can ice it!
I want that cake. (And the sweater is completely adorable.) But mostly, I want that cake. Just because I'm over ten times that age is no reason not to have it. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, the flower buttons are totally precious!
ReplyDeleteThat jacket is too precious!
ReplyDeletethat jacket is totally cute, but WHERE did you find that cake mold? My husband and his brothers are Batman obsessed and would love to have it!
ReplyDeleteI thought the cake picture was of a Batman carved from stone until I read the text. Probably better that it is a cake, otherwise your little one would break a tooth.
ReplyDeleteAdorable sweater!
that is just too cute. i love kid stuff that's not pastel. i made a bonnet for my neice in bright green.
ReplyDeleteThat little jacket is beyond adorable!
ReplyDeleteThe sweater is beyond adorable.
ReplyDeleteYou are quite ambitious to frost the caped crusader. I thought I was doing well last year with a football.
The sweater is beautiful; but, the buttons makes it even more snazzy! Wonderful work!
ReplyDeleteThe flower buttons are adorable on the sweater. I love the green too. Well done!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute, cute little sweater. I know three babies to be--birth dates later this fall. will have to get the pattern.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a cute sweater! I totally want to knit one for my upcoming niece. The bonus: I already have that pattern book! Woot!
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest baby sweater I have seen in a long time! I just "ordered" that Debbie Bliss book from our interlibrary loan system. I can't wait to start! Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThis little cardi is so cute... great job! I absolutely love the color and the buttons, too. I'll have to get this book.
ReplyDeleteAlso... what a cake. How fun. :) Happy Birthday to your little man.
The jacket is beautiful & that's a cool cake!
ReplyDeleteButtons, pockets, everything looks great! And of course--awesome cake...
ReplyDeleteThat sweater is so adorable I can't think straight! Oh, and I have no little ones to knit for. Boo-hoo.
ReplyDeleteThat turned out so cute! I love the color. And of course, can't wait to see the cake all done up!
ReplyDeleteAdorable sweater, fabulous knitting. But I have Debbie Bliss' Baby Knits (and her Baby Knits for Beginners) and I don't see anything like that pattern. Does it go by another name in the book? Oh, and I too thought the cake was an ancient stone carving. How funny!
ReplyDeleteThat jacket is adorable! Great job!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE that little sweater. I have a 2 year old who I keep knitting for but she never wants the final product. Maybe this one would change her mind :)
ReplyDeletevery nice and love the chocolate cake....Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThe sweater is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat's a very ambitious cake. I love the jacket. My niece was just born last week...does she need me to knit her yet another sweater?! Knitting for girls is addicting!
ReplyDeleteThat is just too cute. The buttons are just the perfect icing!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of icing, I hope the Birthday plans went ok!
The green sweater is just so cute, and I love the color. Knitting for littlies is just so quick and so much fun.
ReplyDeleteThe little jacket looks great. I have one started in my UFO basket that I really must get back to. It's such a great unisex pattern.
ReplyDeleteThat sweater is soooo sweet! My first neice will be arriving in about a month so I've been drooling over all the cute baby patterns there are too! So quick and fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the cardigan! The color, the design, the buttons...all awesome! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty jacket. And dude, Batman is awesome.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, check out the abs on that cake! (ha!)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sweater... well done!
Oh that cardigan is sooo cute!
ReplyDeleteGreat cake! I bet your little one loved it!
