When we last saw DinoSweater, he was just some bottom ribbing and a couple body rows.
Real Live Normal Sweater!
Then he turned into a normal baby sweater! Complete with PU button hole and button bands. I’m seaming as I’m going because there are a ton of pieces to this sweater! If I waited to the end this sweater would languish in a pile of pieces forever.
On With The Hood!
I knit this hood separately and attached it.
Baby Sweater+Hood=CUTE!
I’m not around babies very much. My friends who have babies don’t live in Chicago. And when there is a baby around I’m not one of the first to jump up to hold it. I just figure I’d let the baby loving girls hold the babies while I just keep knitting. So the idea of something fitting into this sweater blows my mind.
Bear Sweater?!
Like, my teddy bear from when I was three fits into this sweater. Very well, actually. He looks quite dashing!
But yeah. Someone fitting into this sweater makes me nervous. It seems like it would be easily kicked or squashed, like my cats are constantly.
What Now?
This also makes me nervous. Stegosaurus spikes, why you gotta? So much seaming. So much crap! If I were to make this sweater again I would change the entire pattern.
… Yeah I said it. And I know you are all going to hold me to it. I’m ok with it.
Also! Anyone reading this living in Portland?! I’d love to meet you! If you are in the Portland area send me an email at allyson[at]thesweatshopoflove[dot]com so we can have a knitting coffee meet up this Sunday, February 28th.
I’ll be there avoiding snow, so we should get our knit on together for sure!
