Second sweater done!


Making yet another grandchild yell!








I finished the second hooded sweater, seems like this one fits Kymi. She is (unhappily)wearing a size 12 month, but this is knit for the 24 month size and is NOT too big. Hmmm....I know, SWATCH! The pattern is Lion Brand "Simple Hooded Cardigan" and the yarn is Laines DuNord "Softlight" . I bought it at a retreat we went to sponsored by River Knits. The pattern calls for 2-3 skeins of Lion Brand Jiffy, so I was hoping 2-3 balls would do it. Of course, the pattern does not include the yardage, and I didn't have a wrapper or my laptop that weekend. Feeling insecure, I bought 5. Guess what? I ran out halfway through the hood! Thankfully, Steph had bought 1 ball of the green, so I striped it in, finished the hood, and added some duplicate stitch to make it look like it was done on purpose!














The next one is for Andy, and I increased the overall size after he tried it on.
