Little Lilly's Sweater pt 2

While at a cookout at my lovely sister's house during Memorial Day Weekend I put the finishing touches on Little Lilly's sweater!  I must say total this should have only taken me about a week or two on the outside to kint and finish up.  Much to my dismay half way through the project I dropped the ball of yarn in the mud running from work to the car on a stormy day.  That will teach me not to properly stow my projects before dashing in the rain :) 

Anyway back to the construction of the sweater!  It is so easy to follow the pattern I cannot say enough good things about it. The only time I did not seem super pumped to keep going was before you put the sleeve stitches on holders.  I found myself keep saying and see this will be the side and this will be the sleeves to puzzled looks from anyone I could find to show.  My favorite rows were the ones right after slipping the sleeves on to holders and you go from something that just looks a little blah to instant sweater!!

I picked out some fun purple elephant buttons that I scored from Jo-Ann's for less than 2 bucks.  (Hint:  Check the front of the store for a stand with their weekly fliers...they have COUPONS!) 

I love this sweater and even though it came out closer to the size of 6 mths vs the 0-3 mths I was trying for I already have plans to kint up at least three more for gifts. 

Great grab and go project that will get oohs and awes from anyone your knitting near!
