neighborly love

Abigail is so feeling neighborly.  I knitted this with the gorgeous yarn I won in Jennifer's giveaway.  These colors are amazing - Jennifer of JCasa handmade really has an eye for color and doesn't shy away from a sophisticated palate for girls.  In fact, my boys told Abigail that she looked like a beautiful chocolate cupcake.  And although she did chase them down the road while screaming "don't even think you can eat me!"  I know that she is in love with this sweater because...

It's perfect for posing...

and perfect for jumping in,

just right for a jog down the road,

ideal for serious conversations with big brothers,

 

excellent for a quiet stroll,

and the best ever for play!

And I am absolutely in love with Jennifer's sentiment behind the neighborly pattern.  In this spirit of giving and sharing, this Tuesday I will begin a series of posts entitled "tidbit tuesdays"  in which I will share a knitting or quilting tip each week - nothing earth shattering, but practical tips that may help make projects a bit easier.  I'll see you back here on Tuesday with the first tip.  Have a fantastic weekend!

ps.  Jennifer's neighborly with a twist (a variation on the neighborly pattern) is available for free here.  Go take a look.

Larissa, this is gorgeous!!! I love the colors, and the way that you put this together is amazing.

I am hoping to make the adult version of this sweater in the coming weeks. The feelings and sentiments behind it are just such a draw.

Hope you had a great weekend

Hello! I have been reading your blog for a little while, and am finally getting around to commenting. The sweater you knit for your daughter is beautiful, and I'm looking forward to hearing your quilting tips. The first post of yours that I read was about machine quilting, and I got some helpful hints from it that I've used since!

and your photos capturing the moment are sooooo good.
i honestly think that blogging has made us capture those moments that would have slipped away.
