FO: Joaquin Cardigan

There has been knitting. Just not many good photos taken and uploaded to the computer. (Takes too long) Plus these ones are a little dim. Ah well.

I finished this sweater for Joaquin back in May, I think.





Pattern:: Felix Cardigan :: here ::
Yarn: Rowan CashCotton
Colour: Blue & White (2 skeins of Blue in order to have one ball doing the edging)
Modifications: I actually made this more difficult for myself by deciding to knit in stripes with the blue border. The skeins kept tangling up with each other. The whole time, I was thinking that there just has to be a smarter way of doing this, but I never figured it out.
Comments: Awesome top down, seamless construction conquered my fear of knitting sweaters. Although, I'm not sure I'm ready to try one for the big boy.

...and because I can't resist, here is Joaquin at four months:
