It's the back of yet another wee project, just begun.

This will be the little red smock from Sublime's The Luxuriously Exotic Soya Cotton Handknit Book. (Question: how annoyingly long and pretentious are the Sublime book names going to get?! And then after all those insane names, every other pattern is called "smock". I've actually got two other "smocks" from different books on my to-knit list!) Anyway, getting back to the project/problem at hand, that's Tide, George, Bonbon, and this little thing all begun in the last few weeks. Anyone noticing a trend? My only excuse for this knitting ADD is the fact that all of these projects use the exact same needles. The needles are out, the yarn is about (wee one is now getting into my yarn and dragging it around) and so I start something new. Plus, they've all been such fun and inviting little projects.

The yarn for this one is some Rowan denim in white that I was using to make a little pinafore dress for wee one.

from Erika Knight's Simple Knits for Little Cherubs

I finished the back of the dress last year and put it aside until wee one was closer to the right size to wear it. But now that she's big enough for it, I've decided that she doesn't really look so good in that style dress. She's much cuter in something a little poofy like the smockie I just finished for her (yes, another Sublime "smock" pattern). This smock cardigan pattern caught my eye right away. Although the smallest size in the pattern is 2 yrs, I'm hoping that with the shrink of the denim, I'll get something that wee one can wear now. The cardigan shape should still work well as a little dress, and the three-quarter sleeves as long sleeves should the thing stay a bit long.

So, full of the giddiness of a new project, I'm back at the beginning again.
