FO - Baby Fair Isle Set

Silver · 11-17-2005, 12:45 PM

This is for my bestfriend's daughter who is due right around the end of the year. I happened to pick these colors just because I love them together (and mom-to-be loves lavender), but little did I know that they're THE nursery colors too (plus pale yellow)!

I posted this in the whatcha knitting thread when I started it. At first, I wasn't real thrilled with the pattern. It's a baby weight yarn knit on size 7s and 9s.. which I think it too loose. And there is a lot of peicing and finishing with this set. But, in the end, when it was all finished, I really fell in love with it. It's very squishy, soft and cozy!

Wow! Thanks everyone!

Kitkat, I've been knitting 2 years.. I think?? I have a horrible memory.

I would have sworn it was longer than that, but judging by the fact that one of my first projects was a baby blanket for a friend who's then preggo belly is now a 2 year old boy, I'm thinking it must be 2 years. LOL

Edited to add: No, WAIT... he'll be FOUR next month! So I've been knitting for 4 years.
I told you I had a bad memory!!
