Baby Fleece Set by Knit One Crochet Too

Color: #6825 Blueberry

The size 8 needles created a very nice fabric. I would use this size needle for the next sweater. The only modification that I would make the next time around would be to change the arm ribbing to a contrasting color. I think that would add some extra accent.

More plain buttons. These are the easiest to use for me.

I WON...

my first EVER contest!!! Very exciting!! The Knitorious Mrs. B was having a contest and I entered on a whim. Look what I won! I have been wanting to read this book for a long, long time and now I have it - I can't wait to curl up with it.
