Spectrum Baby
07/22/2011
I knit a baby sweater last weekend . . . a Project Spectrum baby sweater!
Red, yellow, and two shades of blue. (The actual sweater looks more blue-ish; the photos make it look like the red predominates. But it doesn't in "real life.")
I love the buttons!
I had planned all along to do buttons in primary colors -- but I didn't have the right shades in the right sizes in my button box. I went off to the fabric store, just hoping I could find three shapes/sizes in colors I liked. Imagine my surprise when I found these three buttons (plus a green one) sold all on one card! Perfect!
It's such fun to knit baby things.
They're tiny, sweet -- and really quick! They make great gifts, too.

Enjoy the weekend -- and stay cool!
Sweet sweater! I love those buttons too...I have a card of them hiding around here somewhere...
I got stalled on my baby sweater knitting during the heat and humidity.

Oh, that's cute. The buttons are perfect! I've knit nothing but baby thing for PS so far -- fun and quick little one-skeiners. So satisfying. There's no baby in sight, but I'll be ready...

Love! I just bought this pattern - and later that day our son and DIL told us they were expecting. Fate! Our first grandchild - I am so excited.
