Knit frenzy!

I finished the Ripple Scarf a while ago. It is lovely and soft and just a tiny bit sheddy because of the alpaca. I am tempted to make another lacy scarf or smoke ring soon with qiviut (muskox down). But I am not sure I need to fork over $90 for a skein at this moment.


Today I finished the baby sweater. The model of this sweater is not the designated recipient of this sweater, but I think he has soulful eyes. This was a pattern from Elizabeth Zimmerman's A Knitter's Almanac. It is an easy lacy pattern with only two sleeve seams to deal with. I tried to make a nice neat edge by slipping the beginning of each row, but it got wonky with the stripes. But the chain stitch edging covers up any weirdness. The buttons were thrift store finds, so only two of them match.


Here's what the sweater looks like flat. (The bear has poor posture, and it is hard to see all the details.)
