Cable Pullover is still on the Plate

I am working on the Cable Pullover with a Provisional Cast-on Neckband.  It is a little more difficult to write but the reason I prefer the Provisional Cast-on Neckband is that the neck is much more stretchy and does not make the child uncomfortable when being pulled over the head.  That means that you can work the neckband a little smaller to fit better when being worn.

Back View, Front is not done yet!

It is a little more complicated than No-Sew Top-Down but I love Multi-Directional No-Sew Knitting soooooo much.

Pretty Little Preemie

I am working on a Preemie Cardigan and Hat pattern.  It is almost ready to post on Patternfish.  Two more days at the most and it will be out there.  I just need to finish one more cardigan and hat and take some pictures. There are 4 sizes: 4, 5, 6 & 7 lbs.  It will fit a tiny Preemie right up to a small full term baby.  There are  three options; Lace, Garterstitch & a Garter/Seed Stitch Border. The pattern is in DK weight yarn so does not take too long to knit.

This is the last sample:

Smallest size

Pledge!!!!

I PROMISE NOT TO BE SO LAZY ABOUT POSTING.  I KNIT AND DESIGN ALL THE TIME.  WHY HAVE I FALLEN SHORT OF POSTING MY PROGRESS?????

Jayden

I am posting a new pattern today on Patternfish.  It is a Hoodie or Collared Cardigan.  It is a Worsted Weight version of Hoodie Bear which was for Preemies to 18 Months worked in DK yarn.  This one is size 2 - 12.  Its name is Jayden and works for both boys and girls.

I left it on the plate way to long, but now it is out and I am working on the Cabled Pullover for toddlers.
