I've been busy making a second sweater for my grandson. My biggest difficulty is finding fingering weight yarn with no wool content. I'm allergic to wool, and my grandson has a condition that makes it difficult to regulate his body temperature, and his doctor has said no wool products! I was able to buy some acrylic baby yarn before we left home, but I wanted some non-pastel colours. I found some cotton/acrylic mixed yarn to make the latest sweater, but with a little one, it is so much easier if the finished product can go in the washer and dryer, especially when Mom goes back to work.I don't usually knit with variegated yarns, but I loved the colours in this one, and the surprise pooling that occurred only in the chest area!
Nice!
