For my own granddaughter and her doll

A new sweater for a friend's granddaughter

Hello everyone! I had a great summer, including a week in Iceland admiring the yarns I could never use for Israel's climate. This sweater, on the other hand, is made of cotton, for a local five-year-old.

My first yoked sweater!

Pleased with it, although the fit feels very different from what I'm used to- there's enough over for a matching cardigan and I'm on a twinset thing at the moment.

Two more completed projects

Top: Cape and hat for American Girl doll
Bottom: Argyle vest for adult male living in London (Israel is too warm for vests)

Done, In Time For The CeaseFire

*Update*
I finished in time (I hope). The sweater is in transit as we speak, and with any luck should reach its destination by the required date: Aug. 29.




This sweater was made from a combination of Creative Library patterns in Style Your Own Kids' Knits by Kate Buller, chosen together with my granddaughter Mermaid Girl during a visit last Spring. Still to be done: attach sleeves, knit hood, sew zipper, weave in a millions loose ends, block. It might not get to Canada in time for Mermaid Girl's 8th birthday, oy!
