....well in sweater land anyway!
I am now finished with the Watermelon sweater and I love it!
I am so happy that I made the 2T size for my daughter. It fits perfectly!!!
I will be getting this pattern sized and it will be available for purchase shortly.
My little one has been visiting Grandma and Grandpa all day so I have been feverishly working on the finishing details.
If you notice from the above pictures I've had some difficulty deciding whether to go with a ribbon tie closure or a button and loop closure.
I think that I will offer both options in the pattern.
If you notice, I show the sweater with a more froo-froo dressed up ribbon and then with a plainer ribbon for a more casual style. I chose the green striped one for the photo because it resembles watermelon rind. How fitting. I especially love the hand dyed silk ribbon. It makes the sweater look so feminine and lovely. I think that the ribbon tie closure option looks a bit too babyish for the 2T size. But however it would look so precious on the sizes for smaller babies. Since my 3 year old is now a "big kid" Ive decided to go with a button and loop closure and keep the eyelet row as just a nice added detail.
I will be sharing modeled shots of Watermelon soon!

Oh, my gosh! I love this sweater! It is very creative. I am definitely going to buy this pattern when you post it. I can't wait to try it out.
it is absolutely gorgeous. I love both ribbons on it.
This is a real stunner!
Very pretty just the thing for a little girl she will love it! I can't believe you are lucky enough to be able to buy yarn in such amazing colours. It is that from the shop where you work?
that sweater is gorgeous! oh my goodness!
This is so adorable! You're such a creative designer! Will you offer the pattern in a size 6?? I hope! I can make it look appropriate for a six-year-old, I think. What do you think?
the sweater is so delicious.... my mouth is watering just thinking of it on a future recipient. Your items are always wonderful
This is so incredibly cute! I really love it. I wish my SIL wouldn't destroy handknits so I could knit this for my neice. :(
(Also, sorry for my absense, I totally thought you were on my google reader, guess not! I was wondering why you "weren't blogging" DOH!)
love it, love it, love it
I'll have to keep my eye out for some yarn that would work for that. I probably won't find any until I have my own kids, year away...
Wow! beautiful!
Oh I love it! That is beautiful!
I love the sweater, especially how the seeds look randomly placed, and the watercolor ribbon tie.

This is adorable! I'll be the first in line to purchase the pattern. Supercute. Superyummy.
