totally huggable

The x's and o's are done at last! Oooh, I love this little sweater. I just want to squish it and cuddle with it. It's so snuggly and cute. It's was really a perfect combination of a great sweater, a great pattern and a really great yarn. Hugs and kisses to everyone involved: Louisa Harding, Miss Bea, Rowan, and all the adorable little babies who inspire us to make these sweaters. I thoroughly enjoyed knitting this one (maybe that's why I dragged it out for three months - ha, ha). I gotta give it away, but I think wee one needs one of these for sure!

So not only is that one loooooong overdue baby sweater finished, but it's the first holiday knit gift done. Woo hoo!

That is truly adorable. Not too shabby on the fireman as well.

OOOOOOH - LOVE that little sweater - & the model is just too cute also. I think I'll have to make that sweater for DGD - maybe for next winter. And, if I get started early enough, maybe one for my younger great niece.

Love it! The perfect baby sweater!

That is so sweet. If you want to start quilting, I made an adorable 'hugs and kisses' quilt for my 2nd daughter. It would go right along with the sweater you make for YOUR sweetie ;-)

Too, too cute!

Thats a really cute sweater- I'm already ordering my yarn to make the same one. Love your choices.

It really is a cute sweater. I have knit 2 of those in the past, one for my niece and my daughter, and I always really love making it. I am sure your next one will be so cute too.

Darling! and so well executed.

I would have such a hard time giving this away if I was about to have a baby girl! BTW I love Miss Bea's patterns; my 3 year old girl has a few garments :)
