Charlotte's Latest Wardrobe Addition
Here's Charlotte's new sweater.
I love this sweater on her. She'll definitely be wearing it a lot this fall. The pattern is the Big Push Sweater from Miss Bea's Playtime. It was knit up on size 6 and 8 needles and used 3 balls of Rowan ASC for the main color- Kiss- and 1 ball for the stripes- Fern. I made the 1-2 year old size and didn't change anything about the pattern- which led to some confusion. I used a three needle bind off for the first time on the shoulder seams and was left with a visible seam. After I talked with my mother in law and read through Monday's comments, I realized that I had bound off with the wrong sides facing, so my seam was on the wrong side. I was about to reseam it, when I read through the instructions again and realized the seam was supposed to show. I had seamed it correctly for what the instructions wanted, so I left it and am very happy with the results. Here's what the shoulder seams look like.
I've already started on Charlotte's next ASC project and will post photos tomorrow.

Posted by: Amy at June 24, 2004 02:30 PMThe sweater looks lovely. I am surprised that you managed to get Charlotte to hold still for enough time to take a photo... ASC is my favourite yarn - I keep buying more and more of it and still have my eye on some in "Military" from the shelves of Knit Happens :)
