my friend robyn asked if i could whip up two sweaters for her daughter's american doll. i am using a crochet pattern she found and after trying out a couple of locally purchased yarns (one acrylic lace weight and one cotton sport weight), i ordered some knitpicks "comfy" (75% cotton/25%acrylic) in fingering weight. the cotton blend gives really nice stitch definition on this lacy pattern and is such a pleasure to handle! the yarn tests really helped me sort out the pattern and i think this will roll along nicely now.
i found a few more amazing little sweater patterns on ravelry that are knitted with cables. i might try one of those, too!
oooh - i love that stitch! is that the top of the sweater?
