Sorry for the delay in posting! I've been packing, filling out forms, catching up with friends and generally panicking in anticipation of our move to Jakarta, Indonesia. Not a lot of time to cook or craft, but I hope to pick it back up once I am settled out there! I've already scoped out some local yarn/craft stores. Not that I don't have a pretty significant stash that needs to be busted...
Anywho, I've been knitting this wrap sweater for Zoe for months now... it went quickly at the beginning, but then I panicked when I started running out of yarn and realized that the yarn I am using (Bernat Satin Sport) is discontinued in the color I am using, Aqua. Boooooo. Ultimately it worked out- I decided to shorten the sleeves a bit to make them more like 3/4th length, and I think it turned out pretty cute.
Martha helped me sew it together, which was another fear of mine... we ended up slip stitching it together with a crochet hook and chain stitching the tie closures.
Can't wait to see Baby Z in it! It's probably big for this fall, but perhaps next year it will fit. Lincoln didn't get a chance to try it on... he was too busy learning Bahasa Indonesia for his upcoming international move and travel blog: Lincoln Goes to Indonesia.*
* Ok, so Lincoln may not truly be the blogger or even the focus of the blog... but he's sure to contribute to it. We'll post photos and stories from our adventures in Jakarta and elsewhere in Southeast Asia. Follow it! I'll start posting as soon as we hit the road next week!
