Camilla Babe Sweater

by Ashley Weeks Cart

I’ve been working on this sweater for weeks. I loved the pattern the moment that I laid eyes on it. Something about the fan detail through the center… swoon.

I knit the sweater using a variation of the yarn I used for Sunny’s sweater jacket. Of course, I ran out of that particular color at the very end of the pattern. And rather than order up another skein, I used the leftovers from the jacket. So now the sweater has a band of purplish coloring happening across the top. Let’s pretend that was intentional, shall we?

As told by the model herself, I made the sweater in a size 2, knowing that Courtland would get more use out of it. While the sleeves are a tad long and the neck a bit wide, it’s not nearly as ginormous as a 2-year old article of clothing should be on a 7 month old body.

I’m very pleased to have finished this project before the complete onset of spring. I’m feeling ready to tuck away my needles for the season and turn my energies to a much grander endeavor. Details forthcoming…

But for the next two weeks, I’ve got to focus my evenings on preparing for the baby shower. If you follow me on Instagram, then you’ve already seen some festive decor cropping up around these parts.

You can find details about the sweater and the link to the pattern in my Ravelry projects here.
