Hello everybody! I'm in one of those busy modes again, so I'll be popping in and out but probably not posting much, unfortunately. :(
At any rate, since I got a lot of cleaning done and the babies and husband are asleep, I thought I'd take this time to work on my afghan, eat some yummy chocolate chip cookies, watch 'Elizabeth I' on TV, and post these pictures of Lammy's sweater.
This has not yet been blocked, and the ends haven't really been taken care of to the fullest...chalk that up to laziness (I hate sewing and weaving...sorry, just my peeves). :) But Otherwise, I think it looks pretty cool. The pictures don't really do it justice because the colors are much more vibrant and rich.
About the sweater: This was made with 4 balls of Noro Kureon, double stranded. The reason I did this instead of using one strand was because a) I didn't want to spend a lot of time knitting it and b) because the two strands together make a really cool color effect. Three strands together looks pretty awesome too, but I'd end up with a very heavy end product, and Lammy is only 22 pounds...so, we went for the light version. LOL Those buttons are ladybugs! Lammy picked them out herself, so of course, we had to put them on. As you can see, she's pretty excited to be in front of a camera. Yes, there are better pictures of just the sweater, but you can't pass up this cuteness (my personal bias, of course).
Construction is a simple drop sleeve with minimal collar shaping.
