The sweater is Elizabeth Zimmerman's sweater on two needles from Knitter's Almanac. I knit the sleeves in the round instead of flat, eliminating some seaming later on. I used Plymouth Encore in a really pretty heathered pink for the yarn and some mother of pearl buttons to add a bit of sweetness. The bonnet pattern I found <a href="http://larissmix.typepad.com/stitch_marker/2006/01/the_bonnet_more.html">here</a>, changing the stitch pattern from feather and fan to gull wing to match the sweater. I really like the end result and hope they'll keep my niece warm and toasty once she's here.Kathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02009482835849512347noreply@blogger.com
