WIP: teensy sweater #1

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!
