Whenever I’ve had a moment to spare, the knitting needles have been clicking away. And as a result, Wee Liesl was blocked on the weekend and I sewed her buttons on last night.
It’s a pattern I’ve knit twice before (both times for Wren). As usual, I omitted the garter row, because I prefer this smoother look. However, this is the first time I’ve knit it with full length sleeves, and in the smallest size.
I used a skein of Regia for it, and I really wish you could see it in person. It’s lovely shade of powder puff pink, but with subtle heathering of pale blue and mauve. It’s just gorgeous. I originally bought it to make socks for myself, but I think this is a much better use.
I finished it off with some pearl heart buttons, and now it’s ready to be packed up and sent off with the Sweet Pea quilt.

Your friend is going to be so thrilled. The blanket would have been enough, but this sweet sweater is perfection. I love the buttons and I think I prefer it without the garter row too. Wonderful gift Val!
