Raglan Baby Sweater Yoke

I DO still knit. It's just that many of my projects are Top Secret. It's the curse of knitting things that are meant to be released later.

This is the yoke to a raglan baby sweater, from my Autumn Dreams pattern (without the extra garter stitch ridges). 

I'm just about to start the sleeves. And, no, I'm not trying to launch a Baby Noir line. Although, that would be pretty cool, in my opinion!

When one of my family members was laid up earlier this year after surgery, I wanted to give her something easy to knit. So, I had her cast on a certain number of stitches and simply work garter stitch for 6 inches. She used a very pretty, variegated yarn. Her piece will be the bottom half of the sweater. I chose this lovely charcoal since I didn't have a solid color that matched any of the colors in her yarn. 

I think it will be pretty cute!

Simple Little Baby Sweater

Next to socks, baby sweaters are the perfect travel/summer knitting project. I'm finishing up this one right now. I can never resist the urge to pick these sweaters up by their little underarms and wave them around at people. 

Multi + Black, Together At Last

I was knitting a baby sweater out of leftover sock yarn and, BAM, I ran out of yarn on the last row. The last row!

So, I cast off  with a little black. The upside? Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off is adorable in black, worked over a multi-colored base. Lovely. 

I'm bummed to be missing TNNA this year! Safe travels to all!
