Garnet sweater
This is gonna do much to dispel the myth that I'm in the family way. I'm not, I promise. I'd tell ya if I was. I will tell you when I am, how's that? deal? Okay. I have dear friends that are babylicous and this is for their little one when it comes rockin' into this bright world. On a real baby I hope the sleeves are more short to 3/4 instead of the puffy monstrosity they are on Garnet, my childhood friend. I know it'll only fit for a month or two, but won't it just be the cutest 8 weeks ever?
And yes, that is a short row collar, my first off-the-cuff employment of shortrows, and it worked just like I planned. And puffy sleeves. The lovely yarn is less than a hank of wool in the woods, 98% cotton 2% nylon. And the pattern is, like I said, off the cuff.
