Alas, its back to reality as a 12 day break over the holidays ends. Its back to work and getting up at 6 AM to go out and start the car in the freezing cold (4 degrees today) and darkness. Since I took a lengthy break from blogging, I thought I might do a few postings about projects I completed in the meantime. This, for example, is a lovely little sweater I made for my littlest guy while I was pregnant. He's been wearing it alot, but its just starting to get a tad small. Its the 3-6 month size and he's 5 months (although wearing some 9 month clothes currently). The pattern was quick and enjoyable, its called "Pumpkin" from the Pipsqueaks book by Kim Hargreaves. For yarn I used Rowan's Wool Cotton in Moonstone. I was really pleased with this yarn, both in the way it looked but also in how it washed. After a machine washing the yarn took on a very nice softness with just a teeny bit of fuzziness- giving sort of an angora look to the sweater. The hood and the softness of the whole thing just make it such a nice cozy knit for baby. I'll definitely make this again.
