Babies Grow Quickly!

 As I was looking forward to the birth of my grandson, I bought some yarn and fun buttons to make him a baby sweater.  

Well... he's 3 1/2 months old now and it was time to get moving on that baby sweater!

I used the Pop! Baby Cardigan pattern and Big Bad Wool weepaca yarn.

I made this as I was recovering from COVID and let's just say my brain wasn't fully functioning.  I started and Started and STARTED AGAIN.  I ran out of yarn before I could finish the second sleeve.  I raced down to Pick Up Every Stitch to grab another skein of yarn (phew!!!) and finish the sweater.

That one ball of yarn cost me about $150!!!!  Please ignore the lovely bag of yarn I brought home to knit myself a striped Tshirt.  Yes, that happens in yarn shops just like it does in quilt shops!

I tucked in the ends, blocked the sweater, sewed on the buttons, and bagged this up with a cute pair of OshKosh overalls and a gingham top for a fun fall outfit for the boy.  Wait, I said buttons.  DID YOU SEE THE BUTTONS???

How adorable are they?  My grandson has two cats, so this was appropriate.  And adorable.

When I finished the sweater and updated my project to finished on Ravelry, I saw that I originally planned to make the sweater in a 3-6 month size.  And I remembered how in my COVID fog I made it in the 6-9 month size.  And now running out of yarn makes a lot of sense!!!  And it was a great excuse to buy some yummy Myak yarn for a new sweater, too!
