It was a fun group, the views were amazing, and I finished my reversible baby sweater! Here is a picture of each side:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.buzzandfuzz.com/blog/uploaded_images/2008/rev1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 244px; height: 202px;" src="http://www.buzzandfuzz.com/blog/uploaded_images/2008/rev1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.buzzandfuzz.com/blog/uploaded_images/2008/rev2.jpg"> </a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.buzzandfuzz.com/blog/uploaded_images/2008/rev2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://www.buzzandfuzz.com/blog/uploaded_images/2008/rev2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div>Can you spot the differences? The most obvious are:<br />1. The shoulder seam (knit line on right, purl on left)<br />2. The neckband (rolled in on left and out on right)<br />3. The waistband (rolled out on left and in on right)<br /><br />What a great idea for a sweater. This way, if you make a mess, just flip the sweater inside-out and you're clean again (well, you look clean anyway).<br /><br />I had never knit with Peace Fleece before and I really liked it. I think I see a Peace Fleece outer-wear sweater in my size in my future! The knitted sweater softened so much with a hot soaking. Claudia showed us some of her tried and true Peace Fleece garments and they looked and felt great after years of good use.<br /><br />So here are my project details:<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Pattern:</span> kids' Harris Tweed Reversible Stitch Raglan by <a href="http://countrywool.tripod.com/kits_patterns/swters.htm"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">CountryWool</span></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Yarn</span>: Peace Fleece Worsted; 1.5 ball <span style="font-style: italic;"><br />Color</span>: <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Zarya</span> Fog<span style="font-style: italic;"><br />Gauge</span>: 4.5 st/inch before blocking; 4 st/inch after blocking<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Needles</span>: US 8/5 mm (I used 2 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">circ</span></span> US4/3.5mm)<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Comments</span>: Fun and quick pattern to knit.
