If I should knit while in my sleep, I pray the Lord my gauge will keep, and if I die before I wake, I pray I may my knitting take. And if by chance the Lord sees fit to grant me leisure time to knit, I'll see that every angel sings, in cabled robes with fair isle wings. Copyright ©2004 Judith Somersett

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.

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.
