Ok, I'm not really rediscovering knitting. I never forgot it or stopped or anything. I've just been doing it more and enjoying it more over the past week than I have in a while. I'm sure my recent sewing troubles are the big cause of this.
Here is a baby sweater I cranked out in a week for a baby shower today. It's a gift for my expecting cousin, but I couldn't resist trying it on my littlest man for photos. I can't believe he's already 5 months old and sitting up so well!
My other son saw I was trying to entertain Baby with a toy, so he tried to help out. Awwwwww, he's the best big brother!
The pattern is Aran Pullover from Vogue Knitting's Baby Knits Two. I'm seeing now that I spent almost 50% more for this book than it's listed for at Amazon. Oh well, I was supporting my LYS, right?
After finishing the baby sweater just under the wire (knitting until 9 last night and finishing up until 10:30 and blocking overnight), I want to relax with something pleasant and pretty. Enter Frost Flowers Jacket from Feminine Knits.
I decided to start on one of the front pieces instead of the back so I could see the lace. Here it is one repeat in... me likey.
Also still on the needles is this cardigan, which is really close to being complete. Just a few more rows and then a bit of ribbing. If I can tear myself away from the new lace and the boys cooperate, I'll bet I can finish it during the Eagles game tomorrow. I think once I finish this, I'll hopefully get a little sewing bug back since I have a divine dark marly brown knit to make a cozy turtleneck for under this.
Hope everyone is having a spectacular weekend!

That is such a pretty sweater.
Very cute sweater. I need to make some sweaters for my boys. What kind of yarn did you use?
I really love the cabled baby sweater, wow! And your sewing projects really inspire me. I can appreciate all the hard work that went into those tailored pants and the jacket too. Well done you!
The sweater looks great on Mark - and I'm sure my little one will love it too! I'll send you a pic of the little on with it on!
He looks wonderful in blue.
