Sugar n Spice and Everything Nice

Yesterday morning, I got a wild hair up my ass to make a sweater for Savannah. I was sitting at the computer chatting with J, as I do most mornings, and I saw the pattern that Cora had generously let me borrow and I figured, there's no time like the present to make it. I had recently traded some Pistachio Cotton-Ease for some Blueberry with someone on the Cotton-Ease message board and I had a wad of Ice Blue that was leftover from my Under the Hoodie. I thought those two would make a lovely striped pattern. I also knew that I was going to be taking the little cutie for a walk today, so I had about 30 hours of knitting time. Could I do it? I gave it a shot. As of 5 p.m. yesterday, I only had the hem done, and I didn't think I could do it. But, guess what, I did!!!!!

And unlike some of my other "creations", see previous posts of Prosperous Plum Tank, it actually came out really great and fits her beautifully.

So, here are some "action" shots of my adorable neice, now 11 months old and walking, wearing her new sweater. The number of photos is gratuitous, but you gotta do it for the grandparents, right?
