GOOD GRAPE! IT'S ANOTHER BABY SWEATER!
And it's so PURPLE!!! These sweaters are SO quick and SO much fun, I'm thinking of making a gross of them...

Anyway, this one is a really rich shade of purple by Cabin Fever. Not sure the pic does it justice, but I think it looks really smart and some little tyke is going to be really swish-looking.

NOW I KNOW MY ABC'S


Okay, I am definitely going to stop making these now (after I've done a PURPLE one!) The little ABC buttons on this one were one of my favourite features. They are just too cute.

I can't tell you how much fun these little sweater are to make, and so quick (as you can tell) because I've finished 3 complete sets in July as well as a turquoise jacket which is not pictured and is not lacy but plain.

I did go in a slightly different direction with the "skirt" of this sweater and adopted a double-eyelet pattern I got from Ann Norling. I think it worked very well but took a tiny bit more yarn than the original Cabin Fever pattern.
