My First Sweater

for Baby Redden

I had the best time making this little sweater for Angela and Bill’s little baby girl or boy.  I started it at a class at my favorite yarn store – Angel Hair Yarn.  The pattern is the Garter Cardi from Minnowknits.  I used Cotonade 100% Cotton yarn by Knit One Crochet Too in red with a tan border (? what do you call that?).  I figured baby boys or girls can wear red.  The buttons are my favorite.  I looked at lots and lots and lots of buttons.  Who knew there were so many button choices?  The ones I chose, though, are little slices of wood.  They even have bark around the edges.  The fine folks at Angel Hair said they went well with the “homespun” look of the sweater.  Yeah, yeah, that’s exactly what I was going for.  I can’t wait to see Baby Redden in it!
