So Close!

Esther's Sweater is ALMOST done. I couldn't find a separating zipper locally so ordered one from Zipperstop.com. I like the ribbing affect of this pattern stitch which is from the campus coat in the fall issue of Cast On. I then pretty much made the sweater by gauge and measurements for another toddler sweater . I was able to make it a bit big and it will stretch for at least two years worth of wearing. I'm hoping to still have this project finished by the end of September. I do feel a bit guilty because so far I've been unwilling to make a cabled sweater for Esther that would take some time. This is because I'm afraid she'd outgrow it as I knit it or only have a limited amount of wearing time.

Make sure to check out the previous blog entry. I'm holding a drawing for answers to the questions there. Also, there are some great suggestions and ideas. Take care all!
