The yarn is from Sweet Georgia Yarns, purchased from the studio during my trip this summer. The colourway, I was told, is a unique one.... rather perfect for my unique little girl. She had requested a sweater with Ladybugs, butterflies and caterpillars (which I do intend to make, just not yet), but I wanted something fast, especially after finishing my shawl. I asked if Ladybug buttons would be OK?, she agreed and I was off.
I decided to attempt a round yoke cardigan, based on a style that I had seen while shopping with Cary in yet another yarn store this summer. I have never knit a round yoke before and felt that it was time...... I couldn't find a pattern that worked for me, so I did my gauge swatch, figured out the mechanics of a round yoke and started.....
Here is the result...
It's pretty cute, if I do say so myself.... the arms are a bit tight, but now that I know what to look for, I can solve that for the next one......
And here she is on her very first day of school..... I'll admit that I found the experience more traumatic than I had anticipated.....
