I bought this yarn and pattern book last October at the Yarn Lady (when she was still around) and 

had started this sweet sweater around that time... 

but put it on hold to finish the Christmas Sock-a-thon I'd needed to power out.

:)

This yarn is incredibly soft and feels so nice in your hands.

It's not so soft thought, that it slips off the needles... does that make sense?

AND!  It's machine-washable!  YAY!

I did wash this sweater with Peanut's clothes in Dreft.

Then I left the sweater flat on the washing machine to air dry.

This sweater has been done for awhile and I'm just getting around to posting it now!

Anything that required two of (like two sleeves and two fronts) I worked at the same time 

so it would go faster!

Sleeves

Back

Two Fronts!

Ok.. so here's where I got a bit confused and I have to give a huge 

Thank You shout-out to these nice gals on Ravelry for helping me through it:

Basically, you have all these separate pieces (fronts, sleeves and a back) 

and you knit across so they are all attached!

And become like this!

I dunno why this threw me for such a loop!  

You know I confuse easily.

:)

And finally, here is Peanut in his new sweater!

I made this a size bigger than he is so that he could grow into it!

He is not big but he is long.  He wears 3T in his top but still 18 mo's in his pants/shorts!

I decided to sew the two fronts closed so that it is a full-time pullover... 

as Peanut likes to take his clothes off at random times. 

I found these cute Baseball Buttons at JoAnn's!

And, he's over it... 

"Take it off!"


Oh well...

That's why it's sewed shut.
