I love working garter stitch (perfect for parties where there is comraderie but not an overflowing of the potent potables), and that looks like the perfect way to jazz it up a bit at the beginning and end.Seanna Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10211334943923310861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-20519959575594022572007-09-24T13:24:00.000-04:002007-09-24T13:24:00.000-04:00Aahhh the Tomten.

Got your comment on my pink and brown one on Ravelry! Thanks! ;)<BR/><BR/>The deep, set-in sleeves are one of the aspects of this design that make it so different from all the eleventybillion baby sweaters out there. I like to accentuate that with a big block of a different color when starting the sleeves so that the design really shows. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-79609882271162340962007-09-21T10:51:00.000-04:002007-09-21T10:51:00.000-04:00I really enjoy your blog and the guest spots on Ca...I really enjoy your blog and the guest spots on Cast On--very funny!
