Summer is over!

I can't believe how fast summer went.  It was fun, but I have to say, I'm very disappointed I didn't have more time to craft and blog.  Classes are back up in full gear, so I won't be crafting again until winter break :(  I planned on packing some things to knit, but just didn't have the space (and probably won't have the time)

I did have one week where I had some time to knit, so I made my first baby sweater!  It was a lot easier to make than I thought it would be, and went together fairly quickly.  (straight knitting though, nothing fancy)  I am a very tight knitter though, and should have kept checking my gauge, but didn't.  It turned out a little narrower than the pattern called for, but I think it will be fine :)  It's just a slightly smaller size than intended, but the correct length haha.

Anyways, I loved making this so much, that Hubby picked out an ivory color (in the same yarn) and I made another one!  The ivory one just needs the hood and buttons stitched on.  That will have to wait until winter break.
