:: September 30, 2007 Finished!: Child's Placket Neck Sweater
I finished something!
I started Otto's placket-neck sweater last winter, before he was born, and it was all finished except for that pesky end-weaving. I made the 6-9 month size thinking it would fit him this winter. Last week realized I better finish it and at least get a picture before he grows out of it.
I like how it turned out -- he looks professorial in it. Like he frequents the library and smokes pipes in front of the fireplace. There is still room to grow into it so it may be used in cool weather after all. For now he only wants to suck on the sleeves.

Comments i want to try that pattern for baby #2 at some point but first i've got to finish the hooded sweater that I'm making for my almost 2 year old. Posted by Nancy Cook on September 30, 2007 6:20 PM Nice knitting, Mama. I've made this pattern a few times, but it never occurred to me to leave out the buttons. I think it looks fantastic that way. Or maybe it's just your adorable Otto that's making it look fantastic. ;) Posted by amanda on September 30, 2007 7:06 PM OK, he looks way too cute for words. Nice job, very nice! I think I need to find some chubby baby cheeks to go kiss now...how cute! Posted by Amy on September 30, 2007 8:20 PM OK, he looks way too cute for words. Nice job, very nice!

I really wish I could knit, but it's something I haven't mastered yet -or really tried ;-) Posted by Kathleen on September 30, 2007 10:27 PM That is super duper cute! He does look like he smokes pipes and is well read! Posted by dixie on October 1, 2007 7:11 AM So adorable!! Posted by futuregirl on October 1, 2007 9:39 AM instead of buttons, you could use a leather lace. Very "60s literature professor." I love the color you chose. Posted by susan on October 1, 2007 10:19 AM omg - he looks so incredible and sophisticated and cute! I have a new nephew who is supposed to make his appearance out of the womb today - this would be a great welcome gift! Posted by kelly on October 1, 2007 4:03 PM Another wonderful version of this cute cute sweater. Posted by Grace on October 1, 2007 6:47 PM Love it! The color is gorgeous and your stockinette is enviable. Little Professor Otto! Posted by gina on October 1, 2007 9:53 PM Okay, this is super cute -- I particularly like the action shots of Otto trying to cram various parts of the sweater into his face/mouth. Four stars! Posted by Daphne on October 2, 2007 12:13 AM ok, I need a new baby to make something like this for! Posted by hide on October 2, 2007 7:18 AM so great lady. i love that wee sweater. it looks particularly delicious. Posted by traci on October 2, 2007 9:24 PM Oh my goodness-that paragraph about him looking professional, frequenting the library and smoking pipes is so true! lol! What a doll!!! Posted by Lauri on October 3, 2007 10:50 AM So CUTE!...The sweater and baby. LOL Knitting is definitely on my "Things to Learn" list for this winter.
