For thsoe of you who are not familiar with the Yarn Harlot, you're missing out! she is heading up the 2006 winter knit olympics! participants are going to cast on a project as soon as the torch is lit and try to complete it before the flame is extinguished. that is 16 days to complete a challenging project! I've joined the team and I'm going to knit a baby sweater. pattern TBD, but I'd like something in a top-down, one piece sort of thing. this will be a challenge ofr me b/c not only am I'm a new knitter but I've never knit a sweater! wish me luck!
Try an Elizabeth Zimmerman Surprise Jacket. Garter stitch, so very stretchable, great for stripes (hence, variegated yarns) and so clever in its shaping -- no side seams to chafe baby. Perfect project. (I expect www.schoolhousepress.com sells the pattern?) -- Susan Ramsey (rams)
