Baby Sweaters

Seems like a whole lotta babies are being born these days....Both my daughter (Simma) and I found ourselves knitting baby sweaters at the same time.  It is not a competition, of course, because who could ever say which one of these sweaters is cutest?  They are both brimming with cuteness!

Simma made "Baby Sophisticate" (love that name) with Madeline Tosh chunky and leather buttons that I got from a co-worker (Alice gave a big pile of them to Charlene K who gave some to me who mailed them to Simma) And some old bookbinding leather to match the button for elbow patches. Really, how cute is this sweater!  She made it for her boyfriend's sister's new baby.

I made "Garter Yoke Baby Cardi"with some lace yarn from Sanguine Gryphon (now the Verdant Gryphon) held two strands at once. I have made this sweater twice this year and I really love it, especially the i-cord button band.  I had some cute vintage buttons.  If you are curious about an i-cord button band check it out here. I made this for Charlene P's baby due in January.
