Baby Sweater complete!



The Ann Norling Infant Set I baby sweater and hat were finished up and shipped to the expectant mom amd she loved it! I decided to knit the 12 months size and she was very pleased, new babies tend to receive so much to wear that's newborn or 3-6 months size. I wanted her to able to dress baby in something warm for next fall & winter. I recommend the pattern, this is the first time I have tried ann norling designs, well written and easy to follow!

Now I am trying a new doll sweater and have some ideas to design my own.
Happy knitting!

baby sweater on the needles




Finally back to knitting! We are all moved in here down in sunny Florida and loving it!!

DD has a friend expecting her first baby ( a boy) in March and she asked me to knit a baby sweater, only requirement-- no pastel shades. I found this Plymouth Dream Baby & it's so soft!

Here' my progress so far, this is the back of the sweater.
