On The Fourth Night of Chanukah

my true love gave to me, four pounds of corned beef,

three golden latkes, two matzoh balls, and a warm bagel topped with cream cheese.

Insert Baby Here

In between starting my other projects last night I succumbed to the cries of my needles and finished the button band on my baby sweater. It's not often that the finished piece comes out better than my vision, but this one definitely did. I'm very happy with it!

I used Ann Norling pattern #53 and some unwanted, many times gifted, cotton yarn that somehow ended up in my home. The yarn was not easy to work with; (it had a nylon thread going through it holding the cotton strands together that would break if pulled too tightly, but it was hard to keep even tension on this cotton yarn without pulling relatively tightly). Despite this, it created a nicely textured sweater that some baby will wear, (and hopefully love), in the future.

Have a Happy Knitting Weekend!
