guess who's coming to rhinebeck? Wee one! And she should be sporting a new sweater! I just got the yarn...
It's KnitPicks Swish Superwash for a baby Pinwheel Sweater. I'm so excited about this project. It can be my go-to project when my own Rhinebeck sweater has issues. Which it's having now, so let's cast on for the pinwheel sweater, shall we?! Hee, hee. posted by alison at 11:41 am | in

lovely yarn! Posted by: Samantha at August 31, 2007 11:44 AMlovely yarn! Posted by: Samantha at August 31, 2007 11:44 AMBeautiful colors! You have an eye for mixing palettes. Posted by: Carol at August 31, 2007 11:49 AMYum! Posted by: Donna at August 31, 2007 11:56 AMI just love the colors you picked! They are so vivid! How does the Swish feel? I've been considering some for a sweater for my son. Posted by: Rachel at August 31, 2007 12:33 PMThat's going to be gorgeous! Posted by: ames at August 31, 2007 12:59 PMToo funny, I'm waiting for delivery of my Swish for the same sweater! I like your colors, wish I could remember what I picked. Sadly for me, I think my yarn will arrive *after* the long weekend. Posted by: Laura at August 31, 2007 1:04 PMLove the colors and the pattern. They are fabulous - what a wonderful collection. I can't wait for Rhinebeck myself. We are taking a bus trip from the LYS!! Posted by: Kati at August 31, 2007 1:17 PMLove the colors. They are MY colors!! I've been tempted to do the adult version but not sure how it would look. I'll keep watch for your baby version. Posted by: Joan Hamer at August 31, 2007 1:39 PMI'm just finishing my pinwheel now. LOVE this pattern! I didn't do the loop edge, I did a large ruffle and think it's so cute. Next one I won't do so much ribbing on the sleeve either. Your colors will look great. You won't use much yarn of the first few colors. Have fun with it! Posted by: SuEllyn at August 31, 2007 1:40 PMWhat a cool pattern, and I adore the colors you picked! Can't wait to see this one working up! Posted by: Holly at August 31, 2007 1:47 PMI love the pinwheel sweater. I did the loop edge and it seemed to take FOREVER. Now I'm stuck on the sleeves. I had to rip one out and I just don't have the stamina to do it again right now. Maybe once the weather gets colder and I know my daughters need a sweater they can share.... Posted by: Jess at August 31, 2007 1:59 PMyikes...another reason to buy yarn! :) Posted by: Erica at August 31, 2007 4:23 PMOoh I can't wait to see it!!!!! Posted by: Kim at August 31, 2007 4:27 PMoooh, I want to make one of those sweaters! I'm excited to watch your progress! I love the colors you chose, I picked similar colors for the Airy Fairy doll I'm making for a friend's baby. Posted by: Elizabeth at August 31, 2007 6:28 PMoooh, I want to make one of those sweaters!

Posted by: eshy at August 31, 2007 6:29 PMI can't wait to see this done! Posted by: Jill Schaefer at August 31, 2007 6:38 PMI love the colors! Can't wait to see how it turns out. Posted by: allison at August 31, 2007 7:30 PMI think this sweater will have to be added to my queue! Posted by: teresa at August 31, 2007 7:54 PMThat's going to be adorable! Have you used Swish Super before? I have heard it isn't so 'super wash'...but I have honestly never used it, and was wanting to use it on an upcoming project....if you have an opinion on it's care...can you let me know? Great Colors by the way and I love that pattern! Posted by: Deana at August 31, 2007 9:22 PMI got my socks! And WHAT SOCKS!! ;-) Thanks for hosting the fourth sockapalooza. (((hugs))) (And how is that viking outfit coming along? Can't wait so see it...) Posted by: Helene at September 1, 2007 7:03 AMWow! That yarn with that pattern is going to be unbelievably gorgeous! Posted by: Dorothy at September 1, 2007 9:55 AMyou are knitting for Rhinebeck already.. boy.. is it that time already.. oooh.. I guess it is! AHHHH! Posted by: Denise at September 1, 2007 9:01 PMyou are knitting for Rhinebeck already.. boy.. is it that time already.. oooh.. I guess it is! AHHHH! Posted by: Denise at September 1, 2007 9:10 PMNice, sort of a new spin on the Baby Surprise, only more managable. Looks great! Zelda Zunk I did some Googling after I read your post yesterday. That pattern is so cool that I wanted to see what others had made from it. Yours will be so pretty! Great color choices and I would imagine you will have a lot of yarn leftover for accessories or whatnot. Posted by: erica at September 2, 2007 10:22 PMLovely colours! Okay I'm a bit slow on this but just realised that you were the awesome person behind Charmed Knits! I just only saw a review today and I'm reading the final book and kudos to you for such a brilliant idea! I wish to get my hands on the book soon =) because well...one can never have enough of Harry Potter and anything to keep the magic alive init? Bravo!! Posted by: Rain at September 3, 2007 7:45 AMThose colors are gorgeous! BEWARE, though - Swish SHRINKS IN THE WASH, and you'll get no sympathy from KnitPicks about it, either.

Posted by: Erica at September 3, 2007 12:04 PMi love the idea of the pin wheel, saved that a long time ago but never got around to it...and now knitting is far from me...I just can't master up the motiviation.
