• Purl:
    1. To knit with a reverse stitch. 2. Thread made of twisted gold or silver wire. 3. To flow with a curling or rippling motion as a shallow stream does over stones.

First Baby Sweater Done

I finally assembled the baby sweater knitted from Katia's Jamaica yarn.  It turned out really well:

Katiababy6

Yarn:  Katia Jamaica Color # 4010
Pattern:  Moss Stitch Sweater from Debbie Bliss Noro Collection 2
Knitted on size 5 needles, with size 3 for ribbing.

I basically picked this pattern because it was the shape and pattern I wanted.  I imagined a moss stitch sweater the moment I saw the yarn.  I have no idea about baby sweater sizing so I needed to find a baby sweater to get the size right.  Then I just had to knit the gauge swatch, plug in the dimensions and knit accordingly. 

Now, I have ideas for several more sweaters so I had better get knitting.
