Yesterday I finally finished the sweater that I've been working on for my little niece, Jane. I wanted to send it home with my parents and so I needed to get it done before they left. It also helped to have two extra sets of hands around to tackle the kids while I sat on my bum and knitted. Thanks for coming to visit Mom and Dad, it was short but sweet.
It never ceases to amaze me that my knitting projects actually look good when they're finished. The pattern wasn't great, so I changed a few things about it. Then there is always a moment of doubt when you look at the pieces that need to be sewn together. All you can do is hope that you've done everything right. When I finished the yellow sweater I thought it looked a little boring, so I added the pink blanket stitch, the colored buttons and the flower. Thank goodness Jane lives in Utah and not Arizona--she may actually get some wear out of the sweater! I can't wait to see her in it.

That sweater is SO cute. I am very impressed. It will be fun to have a blog if I can ever figure it out. I definitely won't be the one to help you change your template because I've tried and I can't figure it out.
WOW! That is amazing. What a sweet little keepsake for your little niece. And "supermom points" for you for completing it. I think I started a cross-stitch blanket when I was pregnant with Cassidy (9yrs. ago)...and ya it is still sitting in the bag with only about half of it done. It sure will be cute when it gets done though.
Where does the time go?. Oh well, it will be there tomorrow.
Look at you! I remember hot gluing ribbons and tiny people to hair clips with you, about a million summers ago. You always had a creative knack. That sweater is cute!
I love the sweater. Great job on the creative touch!
