Ravelry Featured Photo

Ravelry requested my permission to use one of my photos in their Featured Photos section....Jacob's Sweater.  How could I say no?  This is the whole shot...

I knitted this sweet cardigan for one of my brother Bob's co-worker's new son, Jacob.  The pattern I referenced was Lion Brand's Fairy Tale Cardi using Lion Brand Baby's First Yarn (Splish Splash and Cotton Ball).  Then for a bit of baby boy bling, I stacked dark blue star buttons over plain white round ones.  There was yarn left over ad libbed the hat to match. 

I'm inspired to add to my project gallery now...

New Discover Knit Class

Learn to knit with two colors in the round.

GRAPHIC GRID HEADBAND.

Excellent for those who want to learn to 

work with multiple colors and 

knit in the round on circular needles.  

 Best for those who have mastered the knit and purl stitches.

Makes a great gift for most anyone.  

 This Fair Isle project calls for  

two contrasting colors of Patons Classic Wool  

and a US 7 - 16" circular needle.  

 Each project does not take up whole skeins.  

If you'd like to make up a several to gift, 

consider buying several colors to mix and match.
