I knitted this sweater for a friend's baby in September, but had to wait for her shower before posting pictures on the interwebs. It's my first Fair Isle pattern, in which you follow a grid that tells you which color yarn to use on each stitch to make the design. I just fell in love with the little elephants when I saw a version (in green) at The Knitting Nest, an local Austin yarn shop. The pattern, available on Ravelry, is called Ella Funt after one of fictional young heroine Ramona Quimby's stuffed toys. My rendition is on there, too.
Baby Marley also received a homemade card inspired by the lyrics of
Old Crow Medicine Show and the super-cute vintage nursery paper from JourneyLane in Fredericksburg, TX.
She should be arriving in a couple of weeks. : )
