Since I've been on a knitting kick lately, here is a project I finished yesterday morning. It's a short sleeved sweater with lace sleeves and a mock button yoke. The pattern is called
Hine and I bought it along with the companion pattern Tama in an e-book. I used
Sirdar Snuggly Baby Bamboo DK as the yarn - I really liked the pattern but was less than thrilled with the yarn. It's an 80/20 blend of bamboo and wool and has a lovely drape and sheen, but was
really splitty and had 2-3 knots per ball. For the price I paid, I expect better quality.
I knit the 2 year size and it ended up being a
little big on my petite kid. She should be able to wear it all fall and winter and into the spring with no problem.
