The boys have been a bit cookoo lately which has seriously cut into my knitting time. But determined to have an FO, I stood at my kitchen sink this morning felting pom poms while making oatmeal (multi-tasking with hot water ;0) and trying not to be toppled by the kidlets who were literally running circles around my feet...and I did it! I finally finished Get Ziggy!
It's a simple cabled sweater that delivers the wow factor of cables without the concentration required for an allover pattern since the back and sleeves are knit in simple stockinette. I'll be writing up the pattern for Jujube & Lolo and plan to make it available in March.
I plan on putting another one of these babies on the needles right away for my little Lolo. The pattern needs just a few more tweaks (and an alternative hem and neckline that doesn't require i-cord ;0) and then I'll be ready to write it up.
Now, if only the boys would let me...

ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I'll keep my eye out for this one. :) I see that it has those shoulder details that you love. Very sweet!
ReplyDeleteI love the overlapping shoulder detail. I will be definitely getting this one. If you need test knitters, drop me a note.
ReplyDeleteLove the sweater. I'm really looking forward to all of your new patterns. As with so many other offers, would love to test knit.
ReplyDeleteI love hearing about your boys. My only knitting time with a 3.5 and a 2 (on Thursday!) is after they go to bed. I stay up way too late these days!! Just wait until the little guy can outrun his brother. Then it really gets interesting...
It's beautiful! I love it!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that's adorable! Can't wait to see the pattern for sale!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Felted pompoms are such a great idea too! I love it :)
ReplyDeletefirst of all, I love the new set! can't wait to have one for my little boy. second, the boys are growing so fast and it's just too much cuteness for one photo.
ReplyDeleteLove the sweater! The boys look ready to go though...so god luck getting your work done!
ReplyDeleteI love the sweater set. I have some O-Wool in the stash waiting for the perfect pattern.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Can't wait for your patterns to be available in the Spring. I, too, have a little boy to knit for and he'd look adorable in Get Ziggy.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable sweater. I love it. The boys look as though they are having lots of fun too judging by their cute photo.
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE your designs! And that neckline is so danged useful for getting on and off of a moving target.
ReplyDeleteThere must be a zeitgeist in the air, because I just designed a cabled square hat myself! Mine has bobbles on the ends, though, not pompoms, and a different middle, too. But still, cables & squares make an awesomely adorable kid hat!
adorable boys and sweater
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute little sweater and hat combo!
ReplyDeleteI love that little sweater. Well done. :)
