I finally finished the quickie sweater - long story short, I learned a very good lesson about buying enough yarn for a project the first time I made this. I frogged, and started over with new yarn. (in all honesty, I don't know why I was so cheap - it was Sugar n Spice, fer crying out loud!) This is for a soon-to-be-momma friend.
Specs on sweater:
- Quickie Baby Sweater (http://d-made.com/knitting/patterns/Quickie_Baby_Sweater.pdf)
- Peaches N Cream - 1 1/2 skeins. I forget which color, sorry.
- size US9 Denises
Mods: None, really, other than changing the needle size to 9 from 10.5. It was too loose with the larger needles.
I don't know if I'd make this particular pattern again. It was easy, but I don't like how the shoulders are so low. Maybe if I make some shoulderpads, as an homage to the 80's? :??
It was my first picot edge, though, so now I know how to do one of those.
I've yet to find buttons that I heart for this, so I'm gonna check out the LYS tomorrow to see what they have. :D
