The title says it all!!!
I finished my baby sweater!!! 😀 I made some minor mistakes but they don’t take away from the the F.O. I love it and am already swatching for a grown-up sweater. It was great to see what I read about seamless top-down sweater knitting come together so well. I feel like such a knitter now but I’m not going to talk anymore … lemme break out the pichas!!! 😀
There you have it. I’d planned to block it to smooth out the stitches but I was too excited and decided to post now! 😀
Project Details
- Project Title: 5 hour Baby Boy Sweater
- Designer: Gail Bable
- Yarn: Hobby Lobby, I Love That Yarn. Worsted weight in Sunburst Gold
- Modifications: None
- Things I’d do differently: Knit sleeves in a round since I hate the slip stitch seaming. It’s too bulky. When I do this again, I’ll have to do the stitches under the arm a lot tighter so I wouldn’t have any visible holes.
- Ravelled here.
I was so ecstatic, I made a braided bread. I used Pillsbury Cresent Rolls dough, tossed some veggies, chopped peppers, chopped onions/chives, buffalo sauce, minced sausage and shredded mozzarella/cheddar cheese mix together and boom, I got this:
Hope you all had a productive, happy Saturday!!! 😀 I feel like this now:
I don’t think anyone would blame me. 😀
D'NALI 
okay first, that bread looks delicioso 🙂 I don’t knit anymore but your sweater looks perfect..
It was! I really should make it again but this time a sweet one.
Thanks for the sweater love. Right now I’m getting ready to make an adult one. Fingers crossed. 😀
good!!! 🙂
Drool-worthy, both the adorable sweater and the yummy lookin’ bread!
😀 Thanks so much lady. I’m making that bread again today but with sweetened coconut inside! I can’t wait!
Amazing…you knit a sweater! And look how adorable it is. Good luck on your adult size sweater. Looking forward to seeing the progress. BTW- the bread is making me drool.
I keep staring at it like it wasn’t me who made it! 😀 Since I’ve been knitting, this definitely has to be my most enjoyable project! 😀
That bread … it turned out more delish than I thought it would and I can’t wait to make it again. 😀
Awww, what a cute sweater! I’ve got a weakness for little baby clothes. And that bread? Yum! I can just imagine that with all kinds of fillings for breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and desserts! -Nizzy
Girl, I’ve been having it for breakfast, lunch and dinner!! I didn’t expect it to turn out so good. 😀 Next up … making my own flaky dough instead of using Pillsbury.
And yes … aren’t baby clothes just the cutest. My co-worker is having a baby and I found a basic crochet hat pattern that I’m going to customize. Thanks so much for the sweater love. 😀
YAAAAYYYY! GO YOU!
it looks adorbs, great pichas!
Thanks lady!!! 😀 Getting ready to do a second one to correct all the minor errors
Oh my gosh, your bread looks absolutely delicious! And the baby sweater is very cute and impressive.
Thank you so much for visiting Roche and for your kind comments. The bread … super easy to make and uber delicious. I think I’m going to use the dough and make a sweet coconut filling next weekend. 😀
Yum! Looking forward to it. 🙂
That sweater is so cute and I love the color!!! Did it take 5 hours like the pattern title says? And that bread looks so good! I’m drooling a little…
Thanks so much Hannah. 😀
I think a fast intermediate or experienced knitter can make this in less than five hours but I took my time since this was my first crack at a sweater. Once I made the first sleeve, I was really cranking away at this. I’d say I took between 5 – 6 hours to make it.
Seaming the sleeves took the longest since I hated the crochet slip stitch instructions and kept ripping out to make the join better. I’ll never use that again for seaming … not even in practice; it’s just so bulky and I’m big on finishes.
As for the bread, you should really try it. Because I was using store bought dough, it took me literally 20 mins or so to put everything together. It’s really easy; you should totally do it. 😀
Congratulations! The sweater is adorable. Lucky lucky baby boy x. And that braid bread yum yum yum!
Thank you so much Lady!! All you master knitters inspire me. One sweater down … many more to go. Now it’s time to get cracking on an adult sweater and one for the little munchkin. 😀
