Little Sweater

Image
About two weeks ago I bought the most beautiful yarn and started knitting a little sweater for my three year old, but soon it became clear that I hadn't enough of the yarn. The store where I bought it sold the last two balls of wool to me and couldn't order yarn of the same paint bath, so I had to find another solution, because I definitely wanted to make a sweater of the yarn. I asked you, my readers, for ideas and got some great suggestions. Thanks for that!! In the end I unraveled the whole sweater and started all over, but knitted the ribs in another color. This is the result: I think the contrasting ribs make the blue/grey/green yarn even more beautiful, don't you? www.betweennapsontheporch.net

Lack of Yarn

Image
Last week I bought the most beautiful grey, turquoise and green yarn, to knit a little sweater for my three year old. I thought the colors would look great on her, with her little grey eyes and white hair. There were only two knots left in the store, but the label on the yarn said four knots should be enough for a size 16 sweater, so I thought two of it would be more than enough for a little sweater for a three year old. Happily I started knitting, but, you guessed it, I ran out of yarn long before the end came to sight. I went back to the yarn store, hoping they could order a knot of the same paint-bath in another branch, but no. Alas. So, still thinking what to do about this… Good ideas, anyone? I'm thinking about contrasting rib. www.betweennapsontheporch.net ~*~ This week my Confetti Cookies were featured by Pam from Pam’s Party and Practical Tips !  Thank you for your sweet words and the feature, Pam!
