Here it is! At last!
Dear friends,
Well, here it is, at last. It's my first baby jacket, completed! The pattern is a very good one and I have learnt a tremendous lot from it. I have done my first neck shaping, my first "complex" structure, my first buttons, my first time picking up stitches... It's been an incredible journey! I am sorry if I have not been able to post meanwhile. I wanted to have it completed and finished before posting again on the blog.
So, here are the photos... Yes, it is not perfect. The fronts are not perfectly symmetrical after buttons have been placed... oh well. It's not a problem. Also, I was so impatient I only did half collar: it had to be twice as long, but I was impatient. Anyway, it doesn't look too bad.I am so proud of my seaming down the fronts and sleeves! Wow!
There isn't a single thread popping out! It's all "a piece" now! Isn't it too funny! Wow, I am very very happy about my first baby jacket. I used three colours. The blue-purple is for stockinette stitch. The orange-purple is for garter stitch.What do you think? Do you like it? Please, leave your comments...
Lots of love,
Flavio

Flavio,
You did an excellent job on your first Baby Surprise Sweater. I
love it. It really turned out
gorgeous. Someone sure will be lucky to have this sweater.
Great Job,
Tammy :)
Beautiful job on your first sweater!!! Wow - you are so adventurous in your knitting! (I'm still working with the same baby sweater pattern, because I "know" it now)!
Beautiful job - someone is going to treasure that. :)

This is an amazing sweater! I can't believe that you've advanced so far so quickly. You've done a great job. The child who gets this is definitely going to be lucky.

Hello Josie!
I am so happy that you liked the jacket :) Can't wait to see the summer dress soon! Must be adorable :) What yarn will you use? I wonder, because I'd like to make summer gifts but I am afraid they'd be too hot for the weather (acrylic? wool?)
Flavio
Flavio, your baby jacket is SO beautiful! You are amazing with the work you do! I wish you lived closer so we could knit together. Wow.
Thank you Claudia! I also wish I had people to knit with! It must be fun!
Love,
Fla
