Got to Love Self-Patterning Yarn!

Ana Rose Pasek arrived six weeks early...and she is tiny.   She is a beauty.    Languishing in the stash, 

I had a couple of skeins of Bernat Baby Floral Jacquard.   The right project had not come along for me to test drive this yarn.  Now it has.

This year turned up in catalogs four or five years ago.  I was intrigued.   Self patterning yarns are one of those magic gauge crucial things.   If the gauge matches the math behind the dying of the yarn....exciting things happen.

This is the project I am diligently doing my PT so that I can work on.   Watching the bands of flowers grow out of the knitting does not cease to thrill me.     I have not been able to knit a lot, but have been enjoying every moment of this project.   My next challenge on it is to figure out where to pick up the color run to make the sleeves look like I want the sleeves to look.

The buttons will be a lovely green...hope to have this to the baby soon.
