baby sweater of doom





Is DONE! Finally! It should never take 3 months to knit a baby sweater ever. The yarn was way too fine of a gauge and the pattern too fussy. But it did knit up pretty cute, although I have no idea if it will fit on an actual human baby. But it's done and I'll mail it away and the next baby thing I do will be on fat, chunky yarn that has a gauge of 2 stitches per inch. I hated this so much that probably the baby won't want to wear it because it was not knit with love. In that case they can put it on a teddy bear.
The yarn is Dale of Norway Baby Ull and it was all on size 2 and 3 needles. Never again!

Even though it was a major pain to knit, it turned out beautiful!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who hated that yarn!
