a sweater is saved It's a knit-rescue! I just love it when I have a reason to pull a neglected, half-finished project back from the brink of abandonment.
I started this Tea for Two sweater (from Miss Bea's Rainy Day
I only had one side completed when I put it down almost for good. Now I'm sailing along on the second piece, remembering and enjoying how teeny tiny baby knits are and how fast they knit up. If you actually knit them. posted by alison at 12:04 pm | in

I'm so glad I'm not the only one with unfinished baby projects for babies who are now in elementary school! (My worst ever was a baby blanket I started when a friend was pregnant with her first daughter that I finally sent to her when her third daughter was born.) Posted by: Suzanne V. (Yarnhog) at March 27, 2008 12:42 PMToo funny, Suzanne! Hey, at least you finished it. ;0) Posted by: ALISON at March 27, 2008 12:58 PMWell, at least you started it! Your post reminded me that I have some lovely dusty pink super wash that I bought to make that sweater for Baby M. I love the patterns in that book - wish they went to a larger size than a 4. Posted by: Donna at March 27, 2008 2:27 PMSo cute! Posted by: wendy at March 27, 2008 7:35 PMAlison, I was admiring your finished projects section, and I loved the blankets from Sarah Dallas Knitting. I ordered a copy for myself, and it arrived yesterday. Such beautiful projects! Thanks! Posted by: Jenny at March 27, 2008 8:45 PMWhat a cute little pattern! I love the X's and O's. Posted by: Deborah Bourque at March 28, 2008 9:56 AMIsn't is though, Deborah. I'd love to make a little dress version of it for wee one someday. Posted by: ALISON at March 28, 2008 11:22 AMI want one like that for me :-D and maybe a matching one for Emily. Posted by: Orli at March 29, 2008 9:52 AM |
) last year at about this time for a just-born little cousin. Well, time passed and, um, we never see that cousin anyway (bad knitter, bad knitter!). But now there's a new little one to knit for in our closest circle of friends. What better reason to find that cute little sweater and finish it up?!
