So, this isn't the first baby sweater I started. Heck, it isn't even the second baby sweater I started, but it is the first one done and that has to count for something.
Now, I'm expecting a surprise (I don't want to know the gender beforehand), so I'm making a mix of unisex and girly and more traditionally boy-related garments, because babies don't really care about how they look. That is for us.
This is the Waffles pattern by Laura Chau. I made it with a single skein of sock yarn (Three Irish Girls Adorn Sock in Mairin) in the 6 month size, and I might have enough left over to make a pair of booties.
I started this sweater for Camp Loopy project 1. I intended to start it at the beginning of June, and work on it during Squam. However, I order my pattern very far in advance, and so Paypal was requiring the payment to clear from both banks. I didn't get the pattern until June 8th, so I did manage to start it at Squam. I finished it near the end of our Lexington, KY trip a little more than a week later. Definitely a speedy project in a small size, though I could completely understand how someone could get bored making the adult size.
Hopefully my next blog post will include the first baby sweater I started (not that I worked on that during Squam either) and maybe a sneak peak at the second baby sweater I started and worked on during Squam until I ran out of yarn!
