Sisters!

I just had to post this picture of Miss L and Miss H in their coordinating sweaters.  (Miss H is only about a month old--so tiny!)  Such holiday cheer!  Wonder what Santa will be bringing them--I can tell they've both been very good!

One for ME and One for My Baby (Sister or Brother)

I finished up these sibling sweaters last week and think they turned out adorably (although the color in the pictures below isn't quite right--those red buttons look downright orange).  The sweaters are a gift for a little girl and her little brother or sister, who is due to arrive any day now. 

Since we didn't know the gender of the new baby, we opted to make both sweaters gender-neutral. I love that they coordinate without being too matchy-matchy. 

Because the new baby is a November baby, and sweater season is already here, the sweater had to be really, really tiny. I had such fun making a miniature little sweater (and it knit up so fast!).


Fingers crossed that Mom and Dad send pictures!

Seeing Triplets

This weekend, I finished up these little sweaters for triplet boys who just turned 1.  They were such fun to make, and I'm really pleased with how they turned out.  What a special, thoughtful gift.  I know the boys will look just darling in them!

These sweaters are a good example of how to tweak an existing Yellow House Knits design to make a custom design.  Clients who want a custom sweater are often unsure about how or where to start, and they don't trust their style instincts.  Beginning with an existing design and changing it up can be a good way to put your own stamp on a sweater.  If you look closely, you might see that these sweaters started from the Harrison Street sweater.  We changed the colors, added the coordinating sleeves, swapped out the buttons, and . . . presto chango . . . three darling custom sweaters perfect for triplets!
