• Sunday I spent a lot of time knitting. I finally finished the trim work on the yellow sweater. I faced the fact that I may never make it to a store to find some contrasting ribbon and acknowledged that I had the perfect color yarn on hand.  I made a crochet chain with a size I needle and wove the chain in and out of the eyelet on the sweater. Then I used the contrast yarn to make ties and even a little embellishment for the front.

  I think it came out nicely.

  

  I have ordered a board book from Amazon (because all babies need books!) and once it arrives, I will be able to pack the gift up and give it to my coworker.

  I have to say, I am quite pleased with how it came out. The trim really livens the sweater up a lot. I had never done a sewn on embellishment before and it wasn’t too tricky, so I might be apt to try it again in the future.

  BTW, did I mention I have another pregnant coworker?  I see more baby knitting in my future!
