Picture Practice


Two sweaters in progress for Miss Lily Catherine (not yet born):

Do you ever overdo it when you find out someone in your family is having a little girl? I do. Even though I love baby boys, too, I have the most fun knitting for baby girls. So when I heard that my cousin's wife is having a little girl this spring, I really got busy going through my patterns and my yarn.

It took a while to narrow things down to just two sweaters, but eventually I chose an old favorite (Erika Knight's Garter Stitch Cardigan) and a pattern I have wanted to make for a long time (the Mardi cardigan from Posy Gets Cozy).














I hope Lily Catherine (named after my wonderful grandmother) does not mind knitted goods. Between me and my mother, who also knits and crochets, she is really in for it!
