the picture came out weird because I had to mess with it to make the color come out right (or at least close). It's made from hunter green cotton yarn. But it's finished and I didn't screw up very much at all (just 2 tiny things that no one will notice). Still need to get buttons for it.

That is so pretty. I love the color. So exciting, is this your first sweater? Who is it for?

Dannielle · 05-08-2005, 10:31 PM

yup, my very first (although I have another that's halfway done that I stopped to make this one). it's a gift for a friend who just had her first child

thanks!

Great Danielle!
May I ask what pattern you used? What weight yarn and needles?
Warm wishes,

There's the pattern...it's was really easy to follow. I used cotton yarn....from one of those 1lb. cones. What brand is that? Sugar 'N Cream or something. Size 9 needles.

Dannielle,
That is a cute sweater, great job!
Did you make the smallest size? How much of the cone did it take?

I didn't make the smallest size...I should have though. LOL!

I was afraid that the 6/9mos size might be sized like store bought clothing. The 6/9mos size always fit my kids when they were 4-5mos old. Which would have fit my friends baby in Aug. So I made the next size, 18mos. It looks like it's about equal to clothes size 12-18mos. So she's going to have to wait a bit to use it lol!

I'd guess it used around half the cone.
