If you’ve followed the procession of handknits at Blue Garter over the years, you may have realized there hasn’t ever been much pink in the palette. I don’t avoid it the way I did in my tomboy phase (which was, um, a little more protracted than most girls’), but it’s still not something I usually choose for myself. So when Marika called to tell me my niece was going to be, well, a niece and said, “I hope you have some pink yarn!”… I had to go out and buy some pink yarn. Here’s the result:

Click for bigness. I think the buttons are pretty cute.

This is Sweet Peasy, knit in a finer yarn (Spud & Chloe Fine, in fact) on a #3 needle following the directions for the 3/4 size. I estimate it’ll fit a 6-9-month old, and maybe for longer than that if the little niece is petite like her mother. It’s a sort of apple blossom pink, which even I can appreciate.

It continues to be all baby sweaters all the time ’round these parts, but I’ve got vacation coming up in another week and so I hope to have some finished adult knits to share with you very soon!
