Baby Sweater
We are expecting a new grandchild in May and I just finished knitting my first baby sweater. One thing I forgot to do while knitting the sweater, was make the button holes, so I decided to crochet some loops to hold the buttons and it worked beautifully. So...a great solution if you ever find yourself in the same predicament!
The yarn is a pure merino super wash worsted wt. made in Peru, called "malabrigo". It is named after 4 major rivers in Uraguay, with each river represented by one ply. These plies twist together like winding rivers. Rios also signifies the yarn's washability as rivers have provided water for washing garments for millennia. I love how the different shades come together in the sweater. Choosing buttons for the sweater was fun too. I decided on some wooden ones with a cute heart design.
