My daughter asked me to make DGD a sweater since the weather is turning cooler (in NH). I've only made a few infant sweaters and this was my first attempt at a toddler size; hope it fits!

Thanks for looking ... and now back to quilting!

Lynne,

So sweet: I also crochet and lots of other things but enjoy quilting the most: I made a sweater for my GR GD and she had it on the other night::: So cute:::

Thank you, but if anyone is a master, my friend, it is you.

How cute! I can only knit a scarf and I've been knitting it for two winters.

lindy 09-25-2011 02:56 PM

Very cute. Your granddaughter will love it! I don't do a lot of knitting. I made one adult size sweater and an afghan years ago. Now I stick to hats for the hospital.

Lynne, I used to live in Nashua & really miss NH, especially this time of year. Columbus Day was the worst traffic dayback then as all the leaf-peepers were coming back down from up north & all roads led right through Nashua. I took the day off so as to not have to deal with the traffic. The colors were more beautiful than anywhere else in the country. Swamp maples made the hills look like they were on fire!!!!

Sweater is so cute. Nice job! I knit, but don't enjoy it all that much any more - arthritis hurst too much with the needles.

JJean 09-25-2011 03:02 PM

Oh what a lovely sweater! Looks warm and comfie too!

Judith1005 09-25-2011 03:07 PM

oh, how cute!! :D

athomenow 09-25-2011 03:07 PM

I knit dishcloths and how many of those do you need? That is my Christmas gift to everybody whether they need them or not! Wish I could do beautiful things like that sweater!

nls 09-25-2011 03:11 PM

very cute!!

redquilter 09-25-2011 03:15 PM

That's fantastic. You did a great job. It looks so nice and warm. Do you want my size in case you need to take another break from quilting? :)

debbieumphress 09-25-2011 03:16 PM

Beautiful...thanks for sharing. Always nice to take a break from quilting for a short time anyway.

Mariposa 09-25-2011 03:17 PM

Great sweater! :)

4EVERquilt 09-25-2011 03:30 PM

Nice!! that will keep someone warm.

Tartan 09-25-2011 03:43 PM

I can knit but I am sooooo slow. I recently saw a child's sweater knitted with no seams. I thought, "how did they do that?" Your sweater is very nice and will be in use soon I bet.

Jingle 09-25-2011 04:11 PM

So very cute.

Sewfine 09-25-2011 04:20 PM

Nice job! I like to take an occasional break to crochet or knit.

So cute. Be sure to post a photo with your DGD in it.

MargeD 09-26-2011 09:04 AM

Great job - looks nice and warm.

sailsablazin 09-26-2011 09:13 AM

This sweater is GREAT! About what size did it turn out to be? I have an 18 month old grandson in Alaska---might be an awesome birthday gift for him. Did you have a pattern or did you just adapt it from another pattern?
