This one I knitted in a hurry. I'd just finished the sweater below, and my friend had already had her baby, so I made a vest--no sleeves! It went pretty fast. I used the same stitch pattern as the sweater below, which has a twisted mock cable every few stitches.

Every pregnant woman I know is having a boy...what's with that? Anyway, this sweater is made using a camo print acrylic yarn. I know a lot of people don't like acrylic, but I am so sensitive to animal fibers, I just can't imagine putting something I find that itchy on a baby! On the other hand, acrylic feels nice and soft to me, so that's what I've leaned towards.
So glad to see you posting. Your projects are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog! I too am way too sensitive to animal fibers, so it's wonderful to find an accomplished knitter who likes acrylic! Thank you for the photos--I need to run out and get some Red Heart Strata!!!
ReplyDeleteI am going to look around your blog more. Wow, cool things!
Very nice on your projects. I really like that blue vest for myself in a fingering weight.
