Hickory's mom, Paige, just had a sweet little baby and I wanted to knit her something special from the farm. I have no clue what size to knit a baby sweater and I figured it would be outgrown in just a few weeks anyway, so I made a sweater for a sweet little stuffed lamb :-).
Since Paige was one of Liddy's aunties, I thought a Liddy sweater would be the most appropriate, so I spun a small skein of worsted weight yarn and pulled out a trusty Elizabeth Zimmermann book. Most of it was knit on a couple of beautiful fall afternoons.
Of course it wouldn't be a sweater project if I didn't have to rip it all back at least once.
The lamb waited and waited...
And finally it was finished :-).
Before he left for New York, he took his sweater up to show Clay's Kentucky Great Aunt, Stella. He loved hearing stories about the trip he was going to take and what fun he was going to have with his new family. He arrived safe and sound earlier this week...and I bet he's glad he has a warm wool sweater :-).
